Changes

The '''Arab Spring''' is a phrase used for an [[Antiamericanism|Antiamerican]]<ref>http://frontpagemag.com/2013/jeff-ludwig/arab-rage-unrest-and-anti-americanism-is-nothing-new/</ref> series of protests, riots, acts of terrorism, and general political instability in the [[Middle East]] and [[North Africa]], which have been ongoing since 2010. The most notable events include new governments in [[Tunisia]], [[Egypt]] and the death of [[Libya|Libyan]] dictator [[Muammar Qaddafi]]. Also the president of [[Yemen]] [[Ali Abdullah Saleh]] fled to the [[USA]].

The '''Arab Spring''' of 2011-2012 was a journalistic euphemism intended to evoke reminiscences of the 1968 [[Prague Spring]], or a peaceful demonstration against [[authoritarian]] rulers to bring about "socialism with a human face". It ultimately was a bloody disaster and led to the rise of the [[Islamic State]], six million disposed  refugees and 300,000 dead in [[Syria]]; [[Libya]], [[Yemen]] and other states destabilized. The powers that be remaining in control of secular [[Eygpt]]. And [[Iran]], with Western acquiescence, on the path to becoming a [[nuclear]] power.

 

The '''Arab Spring''' originally was intended to be an expression of the [[neoconservative]] view of [[democratization]] of the [[Middle East]]; it has now become the non-sensical name for the disastrous [[foreign policy]] and legacies of [[Barack Obama]], [[David Cameron]], [[Nicolas Sarkozy]] and [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]].  

 

For some months the [[Muslim Brotherhood]] controlled [[Egypt]] until the government gets overthrown again. [[al-Qaeda]] is stronger in Yemen with control on some cities. In 2015 Islamist [[Hothis|Houthi]]-rebels took control over [[Yemen]]. In Libya [[Benghazi Attack|Islamists killed the ambassador of the United States]] and the late government wanted to construct [[Sharia]] law. The syrian president [[Bashar al-Assad]] does not want to resign his tenure. So it came to the [[Syrian Civil War]] (mainly a mercenary war), where an Islamist opposition fights against the secular government and also [[Sunni|Sunnis]] fight [[Shia|Shias]].<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-25212247</ref> In [[Tunisia]] the Islamist [[Ennahda]]-party took the power.<ref>http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/the-arab-spring-is-dead/</ref>

The policies of US President [[Barack Hussein Obama]] with regard to the Arab Spring seemed to be in the interest of Muslim [[theocracy]], unlike previous [[President of the United States of America|American Presidents]] who have favored governments which are secular and pro-[[Israel]].
