#1 They don't have any oil. They're not worth it.

#2 They don't have any oil, and their flood of refugees will end up in Lebanon and Turkey, no threat to Europe.

#3 So much for the often touted concept of "reponsibliity to protect" -perhaps its responsibility to protect the oil (likely a more accurate doctrine). No that I advocate western interference in this -Let the Arabs "protect" lets see how much thanks they get.

#4 Is it possible we're starting to understand that change, especially in Arab governments, is not necessarily an improvement? Are we better off with Mubarak gone? With Saleh going? Bin Ali gone? Even Daffy & Saddam may turn out to have been the lesser of evils - only time will tell.
