Changing of the guard, but the world continues. Obama saves two veterans of the Viet Nam of the worst military defeat legal in the United States has ever known, to conduct foreign policy and security of the only superpower which actually exists: John Kerry, at the Department of State, and Chuck Hagel, a former Senator controversial at the Pentagon.

Hillary Clinton, the woman who wanted to be Chairman and may be even, subject of a political action Committee, Hillary in 2016, to finance a possible campaign, although his age, 65 years and recent stroke introduces doubts. She warned that if civil war broke out in Syria it may overflow in neighbouring countries and denounced the military and financial aid increased by the Iran and Russia to the beleaguered Bashar al-Assad.

Israel did not wait for Damascus to cross the red line: the alleged use of chemical weapons in a final attempt to save his regime, to send a warning to enemies. No one knows if the Israeli target was a laboratory associated with weapon or missile batteries anti-aircraft Russian manufacturing that were transferred from the Syria to the Lebanon to put them into the hands of Hezbollah, the Shiite militia armed by the Iran and its ability to threaten the northern border of Israel. This pre-emptive strike coincides with the announcement that the Iran intensifies its efforts to turn uranium, now the American "Great Satan" challenge

All a reminder of the immediate agenda of Obama: how media, diplomacy and the use of force, will prevent the mullahs in Tehran to make nuclear bomb.

Without leaving the Middle East, an unstable region in the process of profound change, the giant of the Arab, Egypt, is tottering on the second anniversary of the revolution which put an end to more than a half-century of military autocracy. Analysts and the media are already saying that the revolution ended Mubarak derailed and the first Arab country in population and importance is a prisoner of the rampant lawlessness.

President Morsi is the first freely elected president in the country's history and also the first Islamist president. After a week of violent protests, the opposition disunited, tried to go beyond the legitimate authority of the Muslim Brotherhood, the wrath of supporters of secularism, Liberals and disenchanted youth who pushed the change two years ago.

But the poverty of the country, its huge economic crisis, the lack of a civil society and democratic institutions are not the result of the new regime and the revolution. They are the legacy of decades of dictatorship. Democracies are not automatically achieved, but involve a long period of doubt, detours, disorder, chaos even.

Egyptian Defence Minister warns that the political crisis could lead to the collapse of the State. Morsi, perhaps unwisely rejected a coalition with secular parties, was forced to declare a State of emergency, martial law reproducing Mubarak have instilled the decision and he then went to Berlin to seek financial support from Merkel.

Two decades, the army in Algeria, with the applause of the United States and Europe, gave the rise of the Islamists, who won the elections, causing an upsurge of terrorism and civil war with more than 200,000 dead.

Some Western experts used the argument that the Nazis, which mounted to power in Germany, also took the power through elections. We are now in a similar situation in Egypt with a religious festival that seeks to establish an Islamic dictatorship with democracy? George Orwell, who wrote with clarity about the civil war, said in this regard: "do not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution, but a revolution is to build a dictatorship."

The Morocco in this area remains the only hope. He launched a series of reforms since 1999 and continues its path towards the strengthening of democracy and the rule of law. In 2011, after a historic and politically pregnant speech King Mohammed has introduced a series of major amendments to the constitution which largely voted for. And in November 2011, honest and transparent elections lead the Islamists to lead a coalition Government which is implementing his agenda to try to cope with the social and economic challenges of the Morocco.

The Arab spring in the whole of the Middle East region was supposed to lead the Arab population towards democracy, freedom of expression and economic prosperity. Now the question is, has any country that has been affected by the winds of spring reaches these aspirations?
