Well, from a rational point of view, yes the Arab Spring has turned into a colossal disaster no thanks to the corrupt leadership of the Obama administration. Are you actually blaming Bush for what happened over there? I sure hope not!

From every point of view - other than that of a radical Muslim, the Arab spring has been a disaster.

Many of us were foolish enough to believe these people wanted a better life. We dreamed they were advanced enough to want freedom. They aren't - Bush didn't know that back then - none of us did. Obama and dems had the advantage of years dealing with these issues, They knew the Arab Spring would result in Iranian type religious control...

Arabs don't want democracy - they want the 'stuff' that comes from a democratic system - but they want that 'stuff' produced using 7th century ideas as the engine. And that's not ever going to happen...

Muslims need outside force controlling their every move and thought - prayers 5 times a day facing this way - comb your hair THAT way, wipe your butt this way.... etc - the antithesis of freedom. Poverty, humiliations, subjugation of women, and the exploitation of children become perks. Those 'perks' don't contribute to creating a modern productive culture. If Islam isn't the dream religion of small-minded control freaks, then nothing is...

Will any of us ever believe these people want 'freedom' again? I doubt it. Only the MSM and uber die-hard liberals will fall for that one any time soon.
