Aww, I thought you were making a pun about American interventionism and how it is likely to blow up in our face.

Re: the new meddle east
I think pretty much everybody is rioting.
I check into small hotel a few kilometers from Kiev. It is late. I am tired. I tell woman at desk I want a room. She tells me room number and give key. "But one more thing comrade; there is one room without number and always lock. Don't even peek in there." I take key and go to room to sleep. Night comes and I hear trickling of water. It comes from the room across. I cannot sleep so I open door. It is coming from room with no number. I pound on door. No response. I look in keyhole. I see nothing except red. Water still trickling. I go down to front desk to complain. "By the way who is in that room?" She look at me and begin to tell story. There was woman in there. Murdered by her husband. Skin all white, except her eyes, which were red. I tell her I don't give a. Stop the water trickling or give me refund. She gave me 100 ruble credit and free breakfast. Such is life in Moscow

What I hope:
That the revolts will be succesful and that people will get a chance to get their countries to move with the times.
What I fear:
That the revolts will result in even worse and more oppressive governments.

I have approximate answers and possible beliefs, and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I’m not absolutely sure of anything, and many things I don’t know anything about. But I don’t have to know an answer. I don’t feel frightened by not knowing.

I fear that new leaders might be demagogues and base their support on the hatred of the old government rather than their personal political skill. Who knows? This could be awesome for the middle east.

Re: the new meddle east
I presume you are talking about Egypt, Sudan and Tunisia, only one of which I would say was in the middle East. South Sudan is certainly a big change, hopefully it goes well but its not really a viable nation. Tunisia and Egypt probably won't change much tbh. At worst, Egypt gets completely out of hand and tensions start flaring with the USA, Iran or Israel, in which case WW3 will probably begin.
A new mobile phone tower went up in a town in the USA, and the local newspaper asked a number of people what they thought of it. Some said they noticed their cellphone reception was better. Some said they noticed the tower was affecting their health.
A local administrator was asked to comment. He nodded sagely, and said simply: "Wow. And think about how much more pronounced these effects will be once the tower is actually operational."

Edit.Off Topic. Noble Savage. anyway, I dont think anything good could come of it really, but thats probably because I think that the MIDDLE east is eternally screwed up, so...

"WE WILL SMITE THE INVADERS FROM OUR SKIES! Though they sweep over our lands like the sands of winter, never again will we bow before them; never again endure their oppression; never again endure their tyranny. We will strike without warning and without mercy, fighting as one hand, one heart, one soul. We will shatter their dreams and haunt their nightmares, drenching our ancestors' graves with their blood. And as our last breath tears at their lungs; as we rise again from the ruins of our cities...they will know: Helghan belongs to the Helghast." -Scholar Visari
