What the heck is REALLY happening lately in the Middle East???

[Ghost_Tracker]

cnn.com just did a story that included a map that really got my attention.
Not like I didn't have a clue already, but when you see it, it's really striking.
The area where there's protests now is TRULY massive; and includes almost
every Arabic country except for Saudi Arabia. I feel there's several obvious
questions that haven't really been answered; and I'd love to throw them out
there to get everyone's thoughts:


The most obvious one is, Why now? SURE, sure, Facebook "caused" this, it started in
Tunisia and spread to Egypt and onward but - that's not a root cause. Why now?

What and who is really behind this?

Why has it spread so rapidly, like wildfire in a gasoline-soaked woods?

What exactly (really...) is The Muslem Brotherhood? Who are they really,
and what is their agenda?

How is all this going to pan out?

Please add any other questions that occur to you, as well.

...This situation could get REALLY interesting!
