The inevitable now....

"Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Wednesday warned against the United States taking "control" of the uprisings that have swept the Arab world, state television reported."

Scary is this comment in the article...

"Tehran has supported the protests in all Arab countries except Syria, its main Arab ally. It has has repeatedly criticised interference by the United States and the West, particularly in Libya but also in Bahrain. "

I also offer, although never quite as exciting as attacking someone like Christine Odonnell...the following which is quite a twist, in my opinion, on the middle east and our political responses there...

"“BEYOND LEADERSHIP crises, changing tactics and mounting operations is one steadfast reality: al-Qaeda’s indispensable, long-term and utterly reliable ally—Washington’s interventionist foreign policy—remains the group’s true center of gravity. It is a galvanizing force which cannot be harmed, let alone destroyed, until U.S. leaders in politics, the media, religion (especially evangelical Protestants), the military and the academy begin to accept the truth; that is, the United States government is hated by most Muslims for what it does in the Islamic world, and not for how Americans think and behave at home…"

It is suggested that the more we are involved in ANY mid east politics, the more the group al-Qaeda is strengthened...that the hate that is shown is NOT with the american people but with our interference in affairs in the ME.

Quite a tightrope for this country to walk with such dire circumstances should we stumble.

You might want to also do some reading on the situation in Bahrain, where we and the British support the government but there is a pro democratic movement and yes....violence but we are not hearing any of this.
Of course the other side of the arguement is to back the uprising which we do, and frankly my fear on this is that we know what we are getting in this area.
