Status check-- the Middle East

[El Blanco]

I wouldn't call it a domino effect, but they are deffinatly related.

I also think Lybia should be included, even though thats technically North Africa.

I think we'll also see some major prgress in the European negociations with Iran.

I'd say the thinking goes a little along these lines "We can negociate now and stay in power with Europe's terms, or we can take our chances with lunatic in the Whitehouse who doesn't have problem swinging the big stick."

I think the neocons were sort of right. Good things are happening, but not neccisserily the way they planned.

And has anyone been watching the Daily Show latley? Stewart is in actual physical pain admiting that maybe Bush was right.
