The March 24 issue of The New York Review of Books has an insightful piece on recent events in Tunisia and Egypt. I thought it significant that the author, Max Rodenbeck, analyzes these events largely without referring to the United States, and that he doesn't really get to the question of what regime change in the Arab world means for us.
March 5 update (with thanks to Kyle Everett): Here, David Brooks reflects on Samuel Huntington's Crisis of Civilizations thesis in light of recent events in North Africa and the Middle East.
March 9 update: In the March 24, 2011, issue of The New York Review of Books, Perry Link writes about Facebook and Twitter and the way that events in the Middle East have been received in China.
