Clinton warns of "perfect storm" in Middle East

MUNICH Feb 5 (Reuters) - The Middle East faces a "perfect storm" of unrest and regional leaders must quickly enact real democratic reforms or risk even greater instability, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Saturday.

"The region is being battered by a perfect storm of powerful trends," Clinton said in a speech to a Munich security conference. "This is what has driven demonstrators into the streets of Tunis, Cairo, and cities throughout the region. The status quo is simply not sustainable."
