I have seen this coming for a long time… All of these autocrats (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, UAE, Yemen etc.) will be toppled one after another like dominoes by the poor Arab masses in their countries…
The aging Sunni despots are heading for the grave and the ash heap of history… When autocrats fall, it is not always democracy that rises. And in the Middle East, democracy is not necessarily America’s ally. Democracy in the Middle East means, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim Brotherhood etc. will come to power, they will turn all of their countries into Islamic Republic’s with Sharia, and promote endless war against Israel… If that’s what you want, then by all means, keep on pushing for Democracy in the Middle East…
The Muslim Brotherhood has been waiting for this for decades… This is their big opportunity… They will most certainly ‘strike while the iron is hot’. If they ‘go for it’, if they fail, Mubarak will wipe them out. But if they ‘sit it out’, they will most probably be destroyed anyway. The Muslim Brotherhood has DEEPLY PENETRATED the army, and ultimately it is the army that will decide who wins. It is a certainty that the Muslim Brotherhood will win. It’s only a matter of time…
If/When the “protesters” overthrow the dictators, and take over Egypt and Yemen (and the rest of the Middle East)… Islamic Fundamentalists will then control both sides of the Suez Canal… they will shut it down… and you will have $10-$15 a gallon oil… (the US Economy and Global Economy will collapse… etc.) and we will go to War…
