A flurry of political change in the Middle East has created the appearance
of an “Arab Spring”: elections in Iraq and the PA (Palestinian Authority),
mass rallies and elections in Lebanon, President Husni Mubarak’s
decision to allow other candidates to compete in the Egyptian
presidential elections, and local elections in Saudi Arabia. What is the
essence of these changes, and what is their cause? Are they the fruit of
President Bush’s policy to advance democracy in the Middle East, or are
they perhaps an outcome of the media revolution currently sweeping

has been provoked by the considerable political, economic, and social
frustration in the region, or are they merely a series of superficial
coincidences that have nothing to do with comprehensive change? Are
the various leadership successions inducing gradual transformations,
or are the new heads of state simply waging the same persistent, ageold

candidates to compete in free presidential elections. Given the
restrictions imposed on potential challengers and the overwhelming
victory of Mubarak, the change appeared to be cosmetic or, as the
Egyptian opposition claimed, merely an optical illusion of democracy.
The question being asked in Syria is not whether democracy is making
inroads following the aforementioned transfer of power but whether
Hafiz al-Asad’s son and successor, Bashar, is actually in control of the
country. A more pertinent question, however, is – how long can this.............
