Revolution reality-check: West to reap fruit of Arab Spring

November 26, 2011 10:20

The epic fight for democracy which unfolded in Egypt in February has turned to major disillusionment. As the aspiring revolutionaries take a reality check, it seems a pattern is emerging among countries caught up in the Arab Spring.

The actions of the US government are incomprehensible. How many more countries can they invade/topple and still avoid having someone declare this is a world war? A Libya type action is about to be performed on Syria. Additionally, Iran is on the short list. I point out to my colleagues that the U.S. Congress never approved the actions in Libya to which they retort that it was different than Iraq because it was a NATO driven event. (sarcasm follows) Oh OK then we are all good.   Do not worry Americans will get their comeuppance, Occupy Wall Street is a ruse to crack down on any dissenting voices here. Evil, pure and simple.

All of this bloodshed and violence is instigated by the US every where so they can over run the next country. If it has an american flag on it then open fire on it. Do not tolerate this one more day. Do not take any Americans alive, make them pay.

The Arab Spring turns out to be Springtime for Cameron and Sarkozy.

Why would not the West reap fruit of the Arab Spring? The West invented, planned, invested and orchestrated the Arab Spring and has right to reap fruit of own work.   Logic is very simple and only naive, uninformed or stupid people cannot understand that.

Most of what the MSM portraits as "arab spring" are just the remains of eventually genuine protests which have afterwards been kidnapped by the "axis of evil" (us-israel-uk) and their PR branch. So is the case of Libya, where a small group of unhappy guys has been kidnapped by the "axis of evil" and sold through the TV screens as a massive revolt against an "evil dictator". The truth is that even if there was a protest in Libya, it never had the necessary weight to bother the Colonel. But te MSM managed to put enough color on them to blind the brainwashed watching the news in the West. Same thing might (might) happen in Syria. A revolt, which is not even genuine has been kidnapped by the MSM and pimped-up to fit the westerners' taste of rebels. This revolt never reached the necessary critical mass to bother anybody by itself, but after being kidnapped by the "axis of evil" they grew up in cruelty while the MSM portraites them as victims...
These rebels' sick pursuit of justification for their own cruelty on alleged syrians' crimes  reminds me of the zionist tactic of using the holomyth and the stones thrown by palestinian kids to justify their own criminal acts in Palestine...

there is no god, science has proved that beyond any shadow of a doubt.
the arab spring, and for that matter, any uprising only swaps one set of dictators for another. see any history book for proof.
thats why its really funny to see the countries that were once stable are now crumbling under the pressure of democracy.
true democracy is one person, one vote. not one person all the votes.
