This article by Caroline Glick is very enlightening with regards to the Middle Eastern state of Affairs, and kind of scary. It depicts a new Middle East where Iran has a stronger voice and can now openly criticize the Saudis and their policies to stabilize the price of oil by producing more. She also announces that some protests are schedule to take place in Saudi Arabia, despite the efforts make by the Saudi royal family “to literally buy off its opponents by showering its subjects with billions of dollars in new subsidies and payoffs” and by arresting Tawfiq al-Amir who on February 25 “delivered a sermon calling for the transformation of the kingdom into a constitutional monarchy.” Also, Iran is said to be a driving force behind the protest in the Middle East, information that has been confirmed by Hillary Clinton last Tuesday. Carolina Glick says in this article that “Iranian officials, Hizbullah and Hamas terrorists and other Iranian agents have played pivotal roles in the anti-regime movements in Yemen and Bahrain. Their operations are the product of Iran's long running policy of developing close ties to opposition figures in these countries as well as in Egypt, Kuwait, Oman and Morocco.” She then points out to the policies of the Obama administration with regards to the conflicts, and voices her concerns about the inaptitude and the wrong conclusions reached by the current American government, which can hinder a liberal movement in the Middle East instead of helping it.
