The most widespread popular uprisings in half a century swept across the Arab world, ousting three of the region?s most stalwart autocrats ? in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya ? and opening the door for more representative government.?
So far, that appears to mean a greater voice for Islamists ? those who want Islam to play a greater role in politics.
But the upheaval, still very much under way in Syria and Yemen, could also mean greater instability for an oil-rich region that?s home to key US allies and terrorist groups, including Hezbollah, Hamas, and Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.?
Dan Murphy covered the uprisings with Kristen Chick?(Egypt, Tunisia, Bahrain), Scott Peterson (Libya),?Nicholas Blanford (Syria), Jeb Boone (Yemen), and Erik Stier (Yemen).
