The so called Arab Awakening is nothing more then a shift of despots. The more secular despots that kept the lid on radicalized Islam are being replaced by despots more attuned to the agenda of the bomb throwers. It is hard to see why the West does not see this. It is impossible that the current U.S. administration doesn’t see it - maybe because it fits so well with their plan for a transformed world and America’s place in it.
