What will 2012 bring in the Middle East?

One of the biggest stories of 2011 is the wave of unrest and uprisings in the middle east.  I remember watching amazing YouTube videos last January of the events unfolding in Egypt and Tunisia.  

The implications of this dramatic shift of power will be far reaching both geographically and chronologically over the next years and decades.  This article from Businessweek is an interesting article about the impact this will have on the US. I thought that it was both a realistic and cautiously optimistic look into the future of our role in diplomacy there.  It will be especially interesting to see how the United States works with democratically elected Islamic governments.

Stay tuned…2012 and the following years will have no shortage of interesting developments on a global scale.
