Although change is near for The Middle East, hardly any of the 21 Middle Eastern Countries can accurately claim a democratic political system.
-In order to stay in power, and with an absence of democracy, Arab states must rely on a great degree of repression, and unfortunately from time to time this system of control breaks down.
Sudan has fought their own civil war between the Arab dominated centre and the non arab minority in the south and west.
With 75% of the worlds oil in the Persian Gulf region, Many "energy-hungry powers" as well as local are fighting for control, and access to one of the worlds largest oil supplies. (Osama bin Laden: "whoever has dominion over the oil has dominion over the economies of the world.")
Wars have been forever occuring, and thousands of lives are lost since 1990 due to conflict in Gaza, the Palestinian "intifada" (uprising) that stared in 2000, after the collapse of Mr Clinton™s Camp David peace summit, and in Israel™s ruthless mini-wars in Lebanon
which simply means that even though one country has one flag, most, if not all had tribes within the country
