When dictatorship becomes a fact revolution becomes a right.
When Bashar Al Asaad ordered the killing of peaceful demonstrators he sealed his fate. His speech to his parliament was an exercise in vanity and shows the lack of perspective and how out of touch with reality the Syrian President is.
Barring US defence Chief Robert Gates comments that the Americans were not considering interventions in Syria as they did in Libya now it is only a matter of time before his demise despite Israeli efforts to secretly support his regime.
With the defection of Moussa Koussa the Libyan Foreign Minister , to Britten cracks are at last beginning to show in Mad Mo's regime.
Though the Arab world is suffering from revolution fatigue it looks like Yemen will succumb to regime change sooner rather than later.
The Monarchies bar Bahrain I believe will survive a little longer.
Jordan has handled prodemocracy demonstrators pretty well, Morocco is rushing in constitutional change and so it is only Saudi Arabia with threats of cutting off citizens fingers and Bahrain from the Gulf Arabs that will continue to face problems.
Qatar, home of Al Jazeera, the satellite TV station credited with being part of this wind of change, which was coincidentally set up by the Israelis, has so few Citizens and so much gas revenue that if any meaningful protests took place the Emir could take them out to lunch to resolve matters.
The UAE faces more problems from expatriate workers rights than their locals but like Oman will have to face the inevitable change.
In the words of John .F. Kennedy " those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable ."
