We're playing a long game in the Middle East. I can only surmise that Bush passed the ball to Obama, and he is playing out the same game. Maybe he has even thrown in a few wrinkles like all the bowing and scraping and apologizing overseas when he first started. Recently I've been thinking that all that drama early on was part of a deliberate strategy to signal certain shifts in US policy, like being super-friendly to the President of China and then pumping trillions into the money supply and running up eye-popping deficits.
It looks like Obama is going to push as far as he can with support for democracy in the Middle East. I don't see NATO taking on Syria unless Turkey decides that a democratic Syria is better for regional stability. If that happens, then all bets are off. We could have an impressive Middle East path-to-democracy list : Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, and maybe Syria and Yemen. Jordan is reforming government. We could see a situation in which Saudi Arabia is slowly encircled by free states. And that's the end game - Saudi Arabia. Or maybe not, who knows?
