The political upheaval that began in Bahrain and Egypt continues to spread across the Middle East. From Libya to Syria and Yeman — seemingly no country has been spared. Even ever-stable Jordan, a major U.S. ally, has had three months of demonstrations. Protesters and supporters of Jordan's King Abdullah II clashed in the capital of Amman last Thursday, leaving at least 35 injured.
