#2 "time to help this along"

Agreed, Frank.

So look for Bambi to either do nothing or kiss Assad's ass some more. >:-(

#3 If you want Bambi to help this along, persuade him that the protestors are hard-core Islamists, the Salafists, Al Q, etc.

Then he could be on the side most inimical to the US, where he likes to be.

#4 If you want things to be better in the ME, then the best place to start is Syria. Get rid of the Pencil Neck regime with something better, then Lebanon gets better, same with Iraq, even Gaza, as the influence of Hizb'Allah and Iran greatly diminish. There will be more effect than playing around in G'Daffy's sandbox.

#5 The "something better" is gonna be the trick, AP.

If they would turn inward and kick out the Iranians, that'd be great. I'm afraid that's too much to hope for.
