>> people on various parts of the political spectrum are writing things about various Middle Eastern actors which they are sure to regret in future. Interesting, what do you think will be heavily reevaluated? Frankly, I have no clue. The whole place seem too complex to have a serious opinion. Do you expect that ~ friends of different democratic groups will do genocides? [Edit: It ought to be quite a time before a US president flirts with the Brotherhood in Egypt again, right?] Do you think the acceptance of extremists will be embarrassing? When the whole "don't be a friend of a non believer" etc gets through to the left? Or the opposite, that the Middle East will be less intolerant and easier to live with and gets modernized?
