Georgie Ann Geyer ran a puff piece on the country during the Arab spring. Things didn’t’t turn out as expected. She was my lefty crush.
Lovely
Desperate enough to try anything, huh?
he only democracy to have emerged from the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings.

Who was in charge of the US diplomacy then?
Oh yes, Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton!
They totally mishandled the Arab Uprising!
The Arabs in the streets did ask for some decent governments then.
Instead of helping to install some friendly governments, as this was the chance for it, once a century, they ended up with all king of ISIS and Muslim Brotherhood in charge.
It was the time to engage US diplomacy in the full. No need of military, just skilled negotiating.
But they blew it, 100%
The wars from 2011 are still going on in Syria, Libya and Yemen.
Apathy is the number-one killer of Democracy.
The Arabs can’t handle democracy. But they are not really that much different from the Russians. You would think that the Russians would have gotten a grasp on democracy by now because they’re sort of in Europe. But again, they’re not. And they were never influenced by the ideals of Enlightenment. So the Arabs and the Russians cannot have democracy.
Our future if we don’t get our sh¡t together and get ahead of our problems.
They had Republic, but they couldn’t keep it.
