It's Saturday and :
Syria is in real trouble with its street protesters.
Yemen protesters have won, it seems, because their president is talking about handing over power.
Free Libya has re-taken Ajdabiya from Qadhaffi's forces, who fled during the assault.
France and Britain are keeping the heat on Qadhaffi in Tripoli, and on his troops in the field, and there is no sign of a let-up from them, if that's what Qadhaffi had hoped for to save himself.
America is still trying to lead, but her president remains unsure in what direction, and sounds a little like Germany's Merkel, defending the coalition now that it is succeeding.
Jay Leno is an American talk show host who has a very popular nightly TV program. He does a stand-up bit at the beginning of each program. Last night he said: You know the world's in a mess when the Germans don't want to go to war and the French do.
How true and it is perhaps the sign that the "old" Europe is finally finding its post-WWII role and discovering that it can do quite well, thank you, without Germany in the lead position.
