While I am delighted by Q-Daffy's apparent departure - hopefully he has gone to a much warmer place, there are not yet the signs of stable leadership or democracy. While I want to believe that the source of the rebel uprising throughout the Arab spring is their increasingly youthful demographic coupled with education either through formal or informal means (e.g the Internet) who see the benefits of the Western styles of tolerance and democratic governments, I fear that they are very susceptible to more dictators in whatever form.
To me, the jury is out until there is a peaceful change of government via fair democratic voting. Which is years away.
Which is what George Bush said.
I think history may prove him prescient.
