The US has missed the sufferings of the people in these Arab countries exchanging them for the sake of foreign policy advantages for us. There is a circle of elite in government high office who trade back and forth with dictators for naturally their own regional benefit but ignore the torture, poverty and intimidation of the people.

Bush deserves credit for pushing for a freedom-democracy agenda, in these countries, which was shot down. Obama, the Wizard, should have known technology was behind this people’s revolt in Egypt.

Sorry, but you are into Political, Western-focused Anthropomorphism.

70% of the world’s people have no idea of what “freedom” is, no idea how to get it, and usually no desire to do so.

In addition, they have no idea how to manage it. Look at all the places the former colonial powers left, and left a representative government in power, but the former country quickly reverted to dictatorships.

Excellent point. Early on, Obama eliminated funding for democratic movements throughout the ME. This is so the leaders would recognize him as the Twelfth Imam and melt in his hands. Not. The Clintons did the same thing to Afghanistan. It’s lieberals who practice the art of ignoring abuse of women and gays, rampant birth rates, polygamy and blatant violence.
