As revolutions in the Middle East slowly take the form of elections, will South Asia see its own version of the Arab Spring?

At the moment, the struggle for Arab Democracy in the west of Dar al Islam, which has partially been successful, is termed the Arab ‘Spring.’ Spring, because the historical outcome is far from known. So far, Tunisia seems to have the most chance for success while Egypt is still rioting against its interim military government. Libya is a big question because of the festering sores of the Civil War. Yemen has a good chance of a possibly ‘democratic’ regime change, but tribal fractures there lead to many unanswered questions. Although Syria is almost at civil war, the former U.S. Ambassador to both Israel and Egypt - at different times, has told this writer that he did not believe that the Damascus Administration will fail.
