Fawaz Turki believes that situations after the uprisings in the Middle East are hard to predict. They were political revolutions, so they will not heal quickly. He cites 2 authors who, in the 1900s, tried to predict what would happen in the Middle East. Turki points out that they were very off the mark. He uses the example of Egypt; After their uprising, there still isn't peace or security. The armed forces are still censoring what the media puts out; they didn't want press coverage of Mubarak's trial. So, until we let things unfold a bit more, it will be hard to predict when freedom will come.
