No where do you link anything to Eastern Europe. I’m interested in your comparison.
There were some who said that Arabia was about to go through the same change as Eastern Europe did in the ’80s with country after country breaking free.
But most at first said that Tunisia was a singular event. After Egypt most took the view that maybe 1 or 2 more but the countries with a strong security system would remain safe.
But if Libya flips next, then people in every remaining country will believe that they can do it too because Libya was probably the most locked down country in Arabia.
Does that make sense?
and has great potential to permanently alter the political situation in significant portions of the region. In that sense it is similar.
But I also think there are significant differences. In any case, I am hopeful, although I think more rough times are ahead.
is the degree of influence Moscow held over all the former Eastern Bloc nations, of which all did enjoy a degree of autonomy most Americans were unaware. Their democracy movements were a direct result of Glasnost and Perestroika, along with the decision not to send in the tanks. I’m unaware of any similar power holding sway over all the North African and non-Israel Middle East nations.
That said, the domino effect is strikingly similar.

The US has a commitment to protecting the al-Saud family that you may have overlooked.
Even without a Bush in the White House, the US would not hesitate to strike against an uprising in the world’s most repressive “country,” where royals still own slaves.
Without a Wahabi bogeyman, the Military-Industrial-Congressional complex collapses.
Salafi-Takfiris cannot abide democracy, and you Bilderberger Trilateralists need them even more than you need fiat currency.
.
on Saudi Arabia – I really doubt anything significant is going to happen.
I don’t think anyone can predict with certainty right now.
but I think the crackdown in Saudi Arabia would be so horrific and severe that any protest would be quashed very, very quickly.
My two cents.
and the anger there for the snipers, military jets, etc., will fuel the rolling turmoil across the region.
a lot worse. How can you turn your jets on your own damn people ? Freaking inhuman.
Others are flying to Malta. And I’m guessing more will – or instead of strafing the people will attack Gaddafi’s compound.
for other military on the ground the consequences of not carrying out orders are far worse, as we saw today.
