Right now, a revolt against a repressive regeme using the tailwind of the egyptian revolution has a low probability of success as the ME despots have learned that any reasonable dialogue with the protestors leads to worldwide validation of their efforts. That's my opinion of the situation.

I would tend to agree as we watch Amadinajad backed the Egyptian protests but fires upon those protesting in Tehran as well. The history of our world is filled with such revolutions.

Bahraini riot police have attacked pro-reform protesters with tear gas and gunfire at a major square and hospital compound in the capital Manama, injuring dozens and sending many more fleeing for safety.

Typical....As protests and uprisings rock the Middle East, many affecting vital US allies, the White House fails to calibrate a uniform response to the crisis.

Barack Obama, the US president, wavered between strong support for protesters in Iran as the government there heavily cracked down on them, to ambiguous statement on Bahrain, where a major US military is based.

The US says it will not dictate events in the region.

Many find the US response disappointing, and some feel the White House will only react strongly to those governments it does not have a stake in.
