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.
