Three sided to every coin ...

In Middle Eastern countries, the three sides are:

1. The masses (who want true democracy, and are largely secular in that they do not want to see strict enforcement of Sharia Law)
2. Secular dictators (who are secular not out of any sense of fairness, or because they believe in separation of mosque and state, but only because they want all power to themselves, and so do not want anyone to wield religious power)
3. Religious dictators (the worst of the worst)

And so in Egypt, we saw 1) overthrow 2), but now 3) is making a move for power. No doubt 1) and 2) will be at war soon.

In Libya, 1) is attempting to overthrow 2), but now 3) is beginning to intimidate 1) even before the overthrow has happened.

In Tunisia, 1) overthrew 2), and, as in Egypt, there are rumblings from the 3) camp. Stay tuned.
