That may sound like good news, and in fact may be good news, or it may not. If popular governments emerge in various Arab countries like Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, they may be virulently anti-Israel. If so, they may go to war with Israel. If that happens the U.S. may find itself defending Israel.
An outbreak of popular governments in the Arab world could lead to several governments being openly in opposition to the U.S. and its aims for the region. One hopes that would lead to the U.S. cutting foreign aid to these nations. In the case of Egypt, a current recipient of large amounts of our aid, cutting off aid would be tough for that poor nation to withstand.
We live in interesting times....
