Next?

One thing that we have learned in recent years that when it comes to predicting the future, no one can even come close - not even the CIA! No one had an inkling of an idea that Tunisia will erupt into freedom and that Egypt will follow so soon. In hindsight we can all say that things were cooking for a long time and now had come to a boiling point. We can rationalize what happened had to happen. But that's all hindsight, which is always perfect.

So, what is next? No one knows, but one can make a wish list at no cost. On the top of that wish list will be a sweeping wave of freedom across the region - not only freedom from oppression but from poverty, illiteracy, and sickness, which cannot be truly achieved in pieces. Oppression leads to corruption - or is it the other way around - which then leads to poverty, illiteracy and sickness.

This is intermission. The next act is ready to open, God Willing.
