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]], eleven million dispossessed  refugees and 300,000 dead in [[Syria]]. [[Libya]], [[Yemen]] and other states were destabilized. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton actively intervened in Syria and Libya, funnelling money and weapons to known [[Salafi]] [[jihad]]i groups. The powers that be remainined in control of secular [[Egypt]]. And [[Iran]], with Western acquiescence, remained firmly on the path to becoming a [[nuclear]] power.

:... the idea of an “Arab Spring” for the entire Arab world that President Obama, Secretary Clinton, and investor George Soros strongly promoted turned out to be based on a naïve idealism that instead undermined the rule of law and led to anarchy, starvation, and a refugee crisis that hurt citizens more than the dictatorships that preceded it.<ref>[https://appliedunificationism.com/2016/02/08/best-policy-ideas-of-the-2016-presidential-candidates/ The Best Policy Ideas of the 2016 Presidential Candidates], Gordon Anderson - February 8, 2016</ref>

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]] legacies of [[Barack Obama]], [[David Cameron]], [[Nicolas Sarkozy]] and [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]]. [[Vladimir Putin]] refers to it as a "zone of chaos".

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]].
