As it is now there will be a great upheaval in the region and I believe that it will not be for the good.

Yeah, I know you guys got your freedom from English domination without a revolution. Many peoples are not so lucky. The Egyptians endured a corrupt pseudo-democracy dominated by the Mubarak family who enriched themselves at the expense of the people.
We had our revolution and established the best and most powerful Democracy in the world. Where upward mobility was a given. Work hard and be rewarded for being thrifty and staying out of debt. Since the military/industrial complex has taken over the country, the middle class is being diminished and upward mobility is fading away. Only the rich are prospering. College graduates are languishing at home with their parents. The "lucky" ones find a job in fast food joints, Walmart or Home Depot. Why, because the rich have sucked all the money out of the system. We are now saddled with public debt far into the future.
