So I dont know that much about this country. I just have not ever read about it. But this process actually strikes me as encouraging and inspiring. The media of course plays it off as a crisis, which maybe it is, being that a HUGE world trade shipping lane is involved.

The fact that the protests are basically peaceful and relentless seems like about the best way to air out nearly universal grievances. The army and government have not overreacted and chosen to squeeze. So, it seems like this may play out without serious issues. Of course the specter of Islamic extremism is ever present and the primary concern. And i am aware this is a Nuclear Power (energy, not yet weapons at this point)

Anyone who knows more care to comment with thoughts?
