Washington is caught between the peoples and the Arab regimes

Washington, United States of America - Two weeks ago, warned U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, during a visit to Qatar, the Arab leaders that their systems will sink in the sand if they fail to address the despair, poverty and lack of political freedoms in their countries and build a better world for the future of their people.

Now, in all parts of the region, the Arab peoples began to declare for the social and economic frustrations and stresses of their democratic rights.

What the Arab peoples in this area put the United States in the "unenviable position" between the desire and the need to support those desires popular, and the fact that regulations adopted for the purposes of long security in the region are the objectives of those popular movements.

The United States received what happened in Tunisia of a sudden entirely due to her absence to a large extent from the scene, Tunisian, and expressed the U.S. State Department in early for "some concern" about the free flow of information and the campaign of repression launched by the Tunisian government on the demonstrators, and urged respect for the right freedom of expression.

But the U.S. government did not provide strong support for the aspirations of the demonstrators in Tunisia, but fled after President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali had already fled the country.

In a carefully worded Clinton urged the interim government of Tunisia to respect the people have achieved in the crowd and responding to their demands for political reform and socio-economic.

And encouraged by the progress achieved by their brethren in Tunisia, the flow of Egyptians into the streets of Cairo on Tuesday to protest against the corruption and failed economic policies of President Hosni Mubarak.

Once again, Clinton's re-weight their speeches Tuesday, but they also provided support of the "lukewarm" to the Egyptian government, calling it "stable" and "looking for ways to respond to the needs and the legitimate interests of the Egyptian people."

While the chances of a "revolution" between overnight in Egypt, much less than what happened in Tunisia, the consequences for the United States will be much more disastrous if there were a revolution in Egypt.

Has provided Zine El Abidine Ben Ali concrete cooperation of the United States in its campaign against "terrorism", but not topple him with a relatively great importance to the interests of U.S. national security.

However, Mubarak is a key ally of the United States and form its assistance is crucial in maintaining security in the region on all issues, ranging from helping to achieve peace between Israelis and Palestinians to continue to exert pressure on Iran to achieve stability in Lebanon and Iraq.

But the continuing failure to meet the appeals of his people may eventually become a national security issue for the United States.

Currently, the U.S. control over events in the Middle East less than ever before.

It seemed so obvious at the beginning of talks last week in Istanbul, where Iran has shown a challenge to the United States and its allies over its nuclear program despite the harsh sanctions.

As for Lebanon, it is in the midst of a dangerous game, threatening the delivery of the country to the brink of the abyss again may lead to civil war after the fall of Hezbollah, backed by Syria and Iran, the Government of former Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri, which enjoyed the innovations the United States, and install the billionaire Najib Mikati as an option Party to this post.

In the meantime, the Israelis nor the Palestinians seem ready to cede even one inch for the resumption of peace talks, leaving the peace process, ranging in its place.

For as long as considered in this troubled region to the United States for assistance in times of crisis.

However, countries such as Turkey and Qatar, which does not always fit their interests with Washington, states are central to these crises.

While the impact of the United States on these big issues in the region is declining and declining, the United States should redouble its efforts to address the root causes of these issues, such as poverty, hunger and deprivation of women's rights: a few bugs that prompted the Tunisian people to take to the streets.

Clinton has said the Arab leaders in Qatar that the United States is ready to assist them in meeting the needs of their people, but did not say what is "that once they start sinking in the sand, the United States may be unable to provide assistance."
