Word on the Al-Jazeera blog is that the Syrian government is planning some sort of annoucement to placate the protestors with "reforms."
Where are the tommyhawks.
Sure looks like WW3 is under way. Too bad we have a boy king playing President at this time; kinda’ like fighting with both hands tied behind our back.
"Pro-democracy" is not an accurate characterization at all. The outcome of spreading protests across the middle east will likely result in just the opposite.

That whole are is coming completely unhinged, not that they were not 90% of the way there to begin with.
All these Middle East “democracy” movements are more about the price of food and the lack of jobs. I do not think these folks really care about democracy much as they are in getting a new face to lead them be that new face a democrat, socialist,communist, dictator, plutocrat, or shariacrat.
What they will discover when they get a new face is that their failed society is a cultural failure rather than a political failure. After all is said and done, they will still be broke,poor,bitter and filled with hate for the West.

Was the Iraq War and subsequent freedom for the Iraqi people the “shot heard ‘round the Middle East.”
How about the Shia covets Mecca and Medina, now held by the Suni Sa’ud family?
