For several weeks, we have been watching closely as events in North Africa and the Middle East unfolded. First, to sort through all the claimants and wannabes of this revolution, and find out whom the main powers are. Second, to search for signs of Egypt’s crises spreading to other countries. Well, the crisis has now clearly reached Libya which is probably headed toward a long, painful civil war.

In the future we must keep a vigilant eye on three critical countries: Algeria, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. If the political upheaval gets out of control in any ONE of these countries, WATCH OUT!
