brief hypotenuse of Arab spring events to come

So been watching the events lately cause i have and here is a rundown of things that may come to be from all of this freedom.



  1. Yemen: it appears this thirsty desert nation maybe the next to fall. With there longtime strongman saying he is willing to leave as long as country is in safe hands.which is eerily similar to what a one Hosni Mubarak said three days before stepping down. what is next for the country is anyones guess lets hope they invest in science and mathematics.
  2. Syria: the Syrian government brutally crackdown on protesters in this country crossing the proverbial line I don't see this turning out well for the Syrians .There is no going back after today since government forces killed folks in Deraa. this may not end good for the freedom loving Syrians and may lead to a Libyan type affair. complicated by the fact Syria has strong relations with Iran it is very doubtful we will see any "humanitarian Intervention" 
  3. Libya:  entering into the 6 or 7 day of bombing from the result of the  U.N resolution allowing countries(mainly western) to "protect the citizens" with cruise missiles and tomahawks.oh and Qatar has became the first Arab country flying combat mission over Libya.
  4. The Palestinian - Israel: fighting continues to escalate! as Israel losing along time ally in Egypt to chaos of freedom and american defense secretary visits the "territories" marking a historical first. oh just heard Israel threatens to use great force against Gaza.
  5. Jordan: a protector has died in clashes with security forces today .... will his death be in vain or will freedom win here as well. 
  6. Bahrain: more clashes there as security forces fire tear gas and fought with freedom loving Arabs. reports say at least one more dead in Bahrain. this here leads me to wonder if Iran can maybe drum up a international coalition to protect the Bahrain citizens
  7. Saudi Arabia: protests in solidarity of the bahrainians demanding Saudi Arabia withdraw its troops from Bahrain.
