Interesting article Skybird.

My only comment would be that anyone who thought the whole 'Arab Spring' deal was gonna wrap in a year or two was smoking something.

The 'Arab Spring' will most likely be the longest lasting season ever or at least since records began.

I'm afraid that this "Arabic Spring" is going to develop into a type of war of religion between the two major junctions. Shia and Sunni.

But that's just my thought
