WE WRAP up the week with a look at the latest from the Middle East: Egypt grants Iran permission to take two warships through the Suez Canal (one allegedly carrying long-range missiles for Hezbollah) and moves 4,000 troops into the Sinai; unrest continues in Kuwait, Yeman, Jordan, Libya, and Bahrain — home of the U.S. Fifth Fleet.
Also: the patterns of history; a magma surprise; Tea Party betrayal; and Sam T. Dachshund's bad day.
