The Middle East is shaken not stirred - but the audience in suspense waiting


Beginning of 2011, we watched demonstrators, rioters and demonstrations in any Middle East. The demonstrators were taken by the Government of the Tunisia, Egypt, and on 20 February has been riots in protest at Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, Jordan, Syria, Algeria and even unrest in Saudi Arabia. In fact, he had also spread to even another continent - South America where there were riots and demonstrations in the Venezuela and Bolivia.

Indeed, there was a very revealing article in the Wall Street Journal the other day, front page actually entitled "autumn Mubarak Shakes Middle East - army takes control as President yields Furious protests;" Region Astir as second Arab Leader is overthrown in two months "by Charles Levinson, Margaret Coker and Matt Bradley in Cairo and Adam Entous Washington has published on February 12, 2011."

The title suggests that there is more to follow, or other Arab nations will have to get behind freedom, democracy, freedom, and their people-like quick access. It would be I agree this assessment, although you should read the article to get an idea of their insider views on things. In fact, on February 22, 2011, the Arab League of Nations called an emergency summit. The Organization of the United Nations has also called an emergency summit.

And you can bet the Ministry of defence of the United States of America, the most powerful nation ever created in the history of humanity, is also on high alert. And on February 22, 2011, we learned that Qathafi of Libya had ordered his Air Force fire to protest against the Libyan. If you ask any citizen of the United States, they would probably say that the United States Air Force must shoot down the aircraft fired on their civilians. It is difficult to say what will be the United States, but something must be done.

Only question now is, will fall more how many Arab countries and how this will affect their economies, unemployment, inflation and food shortages in the future. And how this will affect the rest of the world, as Arab nations stop their shipments of oil supply, or the workers in these countries to implement strike, slowing the flow of oil? February 21, 2011 oil shot up to $105 a barrel. There is much tension in the world, and things do not seem to be facilitated.

Some suggest that there are many spy games going on behind the scenes, and they use the demonstrators their own success. Yes, Middle East is shaken, not stirred. Indeed, I hope that you will please consider all of this.

The top U.S. diplomat for the Middle East Jeffrey Feltman has also embarked on a tour of oil-rich Arab Gulf States on Tuesday and is expected to visit Bahrain and.


Ministry of Foreign Affairs Feltman said would also pay a visit to Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and UEA to press for political and economic reform, says there was a "critical need to address" such calls for change.


Mullen has said his trip aimed to "reassure, discuss and understand what is going on" and have called for a peaceful solution to the confrontation between opposition groups and Governments in the Arab world.


"This a time of enormous change this needs to be solved peacefully without violence and leaders have to step forward in terms of," he said.


Mullen praised the decision by the Crown Prince of Bahrain Salman Ben Hamad Al Khalifah to start conversations with the demonstrators to say "it had facilitated a number of leaders (he spoke to during his tour) in easing tensions."

But Mullen said he did not see Tehran's hand behind Manamas protests.


"I still believe, Iran, is a country which continues to incite instability in the region, take advantage of every opportunity ... (but) from my perspective, there has been a principal focus of what happened in Egypt, or what happened in Bahrain or any of these other countries, ' he says.

Manama and Washington are bound by a 1991 defense Pact, which lays down the bilateral consultations in case of security threats against Bahrain, Middle East expert Kenneth Katzman said in a conference report.


"What could be at stake here is an ability to have forces in the Gulf to reassure our allies ... that they will be protected from Iran," said David Aaron, a senior researcher at the think tank RAND Corporation AFP.


Saudi Arabia, annoyed by "interference" from Washington during Egyptian rebellion against Hosni Mubarak, remains at the heart of American strategy in the region.
