File under: Arab Spring

#1 So if the Soddy's even quit an Islamic country and we and we are still there... what the hell does that mean?

#2 It means that the US remains the court of last resort for the middle east.

Another wilder thought. Have you noticed that with the exception of Egypt, ALL of the countries in turmoil in the ME are major oil producers? Libya, Algeria, Syria, Iraq are all oil producers with Libya and Iraq having major oil and gas finds in recent months. The only countries NOT in shambles are Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iran.

Could it possible be the "Arab Spring" was a way for Iran or KSA to eliminate competition and increase cash flow...or is it the inscrutable Mr. Putin at his devious best?
