Re: Arab spring: What was it?
But the theme was correct, right, I dont think we can argue that the struggle to dethrone people like Mubarak or Qadhafi who were sitting for 30-40 years was wrong. Its just that the the mess was so immense that a new born so called democracy was too feeble to get a grip over it.
And on the top of it the coffin was nailed by the outer supply of existing monarchs to make sure people only remember it as a scary dream.. quite successfully unfortunately!
