IND:  I am not a fan of STRATFOR’s Iran analysis but unfortunately they have a following in DC.  Their Analyst Kamran Bokhari examines the implications of a series of violent — and mostly unexplained — attacks that have unfolded in Iran since September.  To me this presentation’s ending seems to almost endorse supporting secessionist groups.  But you be the judge.   Below, Dr. George Friedman discusses the rise of Turkey as a new regional power and the implications for other parts of the Middle East — one of many changes the world will experience by 2020. His analysis of Turkey seems off because as Turkey embraces free enterprise and frees its economy from statism, it would have a moderating influence throughout the region.  The positive ramifications of its correct economic policies would far outweigh the negative consequences of its recent tilt towards Iran.
