Nice sentiment but terrible analogy. The Arab Spring, actively supported by Obama and Hillary, led to the rise of Islamic extremism in Egypt (thankfully they rose up and overturned that), Libya destroyed and in chaos (directly leading to the innundation of Europe with so-called refugees via Libyan ports), Syria in flames while we support the islamist side (thanks Obama) and per some reports 1.3 million deaths.
The arab spring was a wild success from Obama's perspective, more islamists in charge all over the middle east and muslims rapidly overwhelming Europe. From anyone sane's perspective, it was a absolute and total disaster.
I accept your criticism on the basis of the two efforts.
This has been a bit of a revolutionary moment none the less.
Overall, I still think it plays, even though one was sinister and the other wholesome.
