I came across this op-ed on the revolutions sweeping across the Arab world via The Deccan Chronicle. It tries to make all the right noises and strike the right notes, but doesn't really cut it. Question for the author: any reason why Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait don't find a mention in the list of autocratic regimes? Wait, I guess I have my answer:

Hussain Abdul-Hussain is the Washington correspondent of the Kuwaiti newspaper Alrai.

Not to mention that this appears in The New York Times/IHT.
