His description of countries like Yemen and Libya as "tribes with flags" is apt. Pay attention to his insight about Bahrain, which also describe the situations in Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and, until it formally split, Sudan. It was certainly the situation in Saddam's Iraq.
BTW, I'm actually feeling some sympathy for President Obama. His inaction was criticized unmercifully until he finally gave in and acted in Libya, after which he has been badgered unmercifully for acting. I hope it isn't the same people criticizing action who formerly criticized inaction. Looks to me like a no-win situation he found himself in.
