Just who will benefit from Arab Spring?

As a person who has lived and worked in various countries, including Israel, Egypt, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan to mention but a few (and am currently in contact with people in Egypt and Syria), I would like to offer some comments on the so called Arab Spring.

1) Is the present unrest directed at greater democracy for all residents, or to further the interests of Muslim fundamentalism?

2) Many of the countries criticising the present leadership in Syria are countries where basic/religious rights are denied.
