"God, Country, Revolution, Unity"?

It won't be all four of them. These demonstrators in Yemen, are they the unreconstructed Stalinists, or are they the ones who want the place to be run by Osama bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki?

Oh, and the ones in Syria, do they want to preserve the Christian-majority provinces, the Christian festivals as public holidays, and the support for a Lebanese coalition headed by a Sunni but including Shi'ites, Maronites and Armenians? If so, then what are they demonstrating against? Or if not, then what, exactly, do they want instead, and why?

I only ask.
