THE BATTLE FOR CONTROL OF THE "VIRUS"!!
One thing has become very clear in the past several weeks. Both sides of the Radical Islamic movement have come to realize the power of the Tunisian Virus!! Both the Sunni and Shiite are scrambling to shape the "freedom" phenomenon into a tool for them to leverage. Ironically, both sides see the danger of the virus yet they cannot resist finding a way to weaponize   the bug! They also understand they are in a classic "arms race" to get control of the event. Syria and Iran, more so Iran than Syria, see the advantage of a drastically weakened Egypt that could eventually fall into their court.  yet; the Syrian government is beginning not to sleep at night. It is very possible the virus may spread to Syria before their keepers, Iran, can figure out how to turn this whole event into a Shiite windfall.  Never forget the age old Persian / Arabic issue here. 
Here is Syria's problem; most of the country is Sunni!!!!  If the MB takes control of the virus, remember the MB is Sunni, then Syria becomes a prime target.  The Syrian leadership is seen as sellouts to Iran, Shiite Iranian Masters.  If a week or a month from now, Iran wakes up and sees "issues inside of Syria, the alarm bells are really going to go off!!!! The virus will be out of the weapon's lab and the city may be turning into Zombies!!!
Interesting times for sure, but don't take your eyes off the real issue here. ISRAEL!!!
Egypt descending into political turmoil is nothing short of a true nightmare for Israel.
Stack that on top of how quickly the Israelis watched the US abandon the Leader of Egypt, a guarded Friend of the US and you have the makings of a blunder by our DoS of epic proportions.  Don't rule out the fact that the US's actions could realistically lead to armed conflict by Israel. An armed conflict that could include Syria, Iran, Lebanon all at one time.
Can this whole thing get worse? absolutely!!
Will it? Let's hope not, but the long-range crystal ball does not look good!!!
