I can see similar issues on the "western" side, frenemies all over, and it is difficult to tell which ways some of them are going to go in the future, and all in the context of a USA hamstrung by it's own incompetence, over-reaching and this unfortunate Snowden business.

I think Erdogan has pretty well beshit himself in public at this point, which is a shame, the ego gets them every time. Him and Morsi look much alike in the over-reaching.

Nasrallah seems to still have the fire in his belly, and seems to understand this is an existential crisis, agree with your assessment.

Syria is looking more and more like a lit fuse, but then it always did.
