It seems to me that maybe the Arab nations of northern Africa may be heading into the formation of a unified Arab nation. Something like the Unified States Of Arabia.
Do you think this is possible? If so, what would it be like? Would it be friendly to the west?
It doesn't seem like "Islamism" is the driving force behind the movement. It seems, to me, that the forces behind the movement are based on true liberty and freedom.
But I have to admit that I'm a little bit worried by the idea of a Muslim superstate arising. And I also worry about religious extremists gaining power. The Iranian revolution seemed cool, until the Ayatollah grabbed the power.
I'm in favor of the Arabs throwing off their dictators, but the liberals must be certain to not let their right-wingers to gain control.
