I dont know know enough to make a case for it, but you have to ask - why now? My childhood is full of seeing US Presidents and leaders in the mid-east negotiating over and over and over and nothing ever changing. Maybe the US actions in Iraq have shown that brutal leaders can be taken down and that the US will back these countries. Maybe Al-quedas escalation over the last 15 yrs is really a last gamble, not gaining in popularity, but a dying breed? Couple that with Obamas message that this is not about Muslims and you may have a the seeds that lead to this? Just thinking out loud.
