Not long ago Zero and Klinton were crowing about how they inspired and supported the overthrow of Mubarak.

Now that post-Mubarak Egypt is struggling under the anti-democracy burden imposed by the Muslim Brotherhood the architects of that coup seem to be less inclined to talk about the consequences.

Be careful what you wish for....

First of all, the Arab Spring motivated by democratic ideals is a crock!!!! Reason the Arabs rioted is food prices inflated due to the zero interest policy of the Federal Reserve. Since US dollar is the reserve currency of the world, food must be brought in dollars. Arab countries must convert their currencies into dollars in order to order imported food and then convert it back to local currencies. Since the US dollar keeps losing value due to low interest rates and excessive printing, food prices become inflated once it is imported to Arab markets. When poor Egyptians pay 50 percent of their salaries for food, and the local police hits them for BS fines/demands for bribes, the average Arab who loses everything will lose it. Our financial implosion in 2008 and the subsequent desperate attempts to prevent deflation/depression has caused commodity inflation worldwide. This has impacted food prices and cause social instability in many third world nations. The Arab Spring is just desperate people venting their anger at starvation, corruption and etc and the Muslim Brotherhood is more then happy to step into the power vacuum.
