The Arab Revolt erupted in Tunisia on Dec. 18, 2010, exactly six months ago. The latest DEBKA-Net-Weekly out last Friday offers the first interim report: The uprisings are log-jammed after ousting two Arab presidents: Three rulers, Saudi King Abdullah, Libya's Muammar Qaddafi and Bashar Assad of Syria defy the US and Europe and Yemen is breaking up.
