Mideast Revolts Are Bad News for the US

EIN News says, "As Regimes Fall in Arab World, Al Qaeda Sees History Fly By For nearly two decades, the leaders of Al Qaeda have denounced the Arab world's dictators as heretics and puppets of the West and called for their downfall. Now, people in country after country have risen to topple their leaders — and Al Qaeda has played absolutely no role. (nytimes.com)".

The New York Times must have a somewhat distorted sense of logic to come to that conclusion. Notice that the Times says the leaders of Al Qaeda have denounced the Arab world dictators for nearly 2 decades and called for their downfall. This is now happening. How can one conclude that two decades of efforts have not played a part in this Al Qaeda success?

Several of the Arab world states have been very cooperative with the US, in spite of contrary news comments. Those governments will no longer be as cooperative in the future, since they will be dominated more by Islamic leaders, as has previously occurred in Iran with the overthrow of the Shah.

Muslim leadership is on the rise in the Middle East and will work to the disadvantage of US. Let's also keep in the back of our mind that the Islamic directive is to convert all people to Islam, and if that fails, kill them.
