I think there are many forces at work, and technology is a big one.<br /><br />But, Obama is responsible in part, and he will be given credit. <br /><br />He certainly is not doing anything to discourage this stuff.<br /><br />We are in a very dangerous place right now. And, if the Arab world comes through this more free than before, then Obama will be hailed as next to Reagan.<br /><br />That being said, I do not expect that to happen.<br /><br />The "Arab Spring" smells like a pile of camel shit to me.Pastoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169561459129778670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-74305062314039486722011-03-29T18:39:30.934+01:002011-03-29T18:39:30.934+01:00We split on this one.

It HAD to be started, Al Jazeera had far more to do with it than anything else, and it will be the beginning of the unraveling of ANY HOPE that progress in time means peace.Epaminondashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811906954763827459noreply@blogger.com
