Democracy in the Middle East, Coming Soon to a Theater Near You.

So the Lost One has noticed an abundance of Articles that are positively giddy at the prospects in the Middle East for Democracy. With Egypt trying Democracy on for size and, the ever put upon Shiites in Saudi Arabia (a country that has, inexplicably gotten a pass on their anti-democratic tendencies. Maybe the President should schedule The Sec. State for a little face time with a few members of their government...) asserting the right to participate as well, what a great time to be alive. And now everyone's so jazzed with the development The Economist, has an article, which can be read here. Sink me, if it doesn't look as if the entire region has got a taste of freedom and is saying, "please sir, I'd like some more." Who could have possibly predicted such an exciting and beautiful turn of events? What super-human, divinely inspired soul could have had the vision and will to make this happen? Here and here are some pictures of just such a mystic (on a totally unrelated topic, is it just me or is Barbara Bush a very attractive young lady [the younger, not that grandma isn't a very...Handsome women]? You know...I should probably change the topic quick, or I just might end up on that list that all the anti-patriot act crowd swears the FBI keeps of people they need to keep an eye on). Tee-hee, it's nice being on the winning team.
