You mean black and white? Neither I would imagine.... you probably need to decide on what shade of grey you like.
A dramatic rise in crime, or at least a reported one, and general 'instability' plays into the hands of the military, and thus the USA. People will seek security and stability, and the military will offer it. This is standard & routine practise. So it begs the obvious question is somebody behind this rise, or at least reported rise, orchestrating it to benefit? A knowledge of history would suggest a strong yes.
If this makes no sense then have a read of William Blums book Killing Hope.
Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II which has countless examples. Or Mark Curtis for UK stuff MARKCURTIS.INFO
Robert Fisk is an interesting guy to read and he has been writing a lot about Egypt recently. He has lived in Lebanon for 30+ years, speaks Arabic etc etc
