Arab Spring: the path of protest

[Kulindahr]

Yes, that's true. I think people are so fed up with US involvement in the recent past that they are suspicious of ANY involvement even when it might be the right thing to do.

I learned a simple principle on my first job, when we had a bit of a catastrophe and there were a whole array of things to be fixed: pick one you can do, and let the rest go until you deal with the one.

Yes, there are a whole line of situations we could be poking around in -- but if you try to deal with everything at once, you tend to end up dealing with none of it.
