Domino effect?

"We are living in a time of deep anxiety in the Arab world and fear of the unknown . . . We long for a time when a trasition like this will be normal . . . A vaccuum is not acceptable if it is filled with Islamists."

Prince Hassan of Jordan, BBC interview

I have attached a nice, short review of the Arab world affected. We agree with the analysis on Morocco. Though there are certainly issues, Morocco is very stable, there is more freedom of press here, and the people are treated better than what has been happening in Egypt. Since this article, the King of Jordan has sacked his entire government and the ruler of Yemen has announced he will not run for reelections in 2013 and of course, Mubarak of Egypt says he will not for reelections in seven months, though the people are not satisfied with this.

Having witnessed many coups and revolutions, it has become painfully obvious that the new government can have a whole new set of problems. So we continue to wait and pray, believing that what happens in Egypt will set the tone for the Arab world.

Again, we are very safe here . . . safer certainly than those of you who live in cities!

I promise a nice, light entry next time!
