Is the Bush Doctrine finally paying off?

Grim's Hall asks us to pay attention to events in the Middle East.

The whole area -- from Turkey to Syria to Egypt, from Syria to Iraq to Iran -- is a highly unstable powderkeg at this point. In a way that's what we wanted, and indeed just what we expected, when we overthrew Saddam. There are democratic revolutions in every country in the region.

Too bad we have no leadership with the vision to, well, lead. We could really use it just now.
