The so called Arab Spring is way over due. We push for democracy in Eastern Europe when the Soviet Union was around. In South America went more democratic in spite of us. We installed our agent from Nasser in Egypt in 1952 until Gaddafi in 1969. Now we are try hard to control the so called Arab Spring by our agents all over again.
