I've yet to see democracy achieved as a result of the "ArabSpring" in any of the countries where liberation has taken place. Where'sthe improvement? Citizens are still being slaughtered in these so-called liberated countries.

That said.. where's the so-called freedom? Former Tyrannical despots of Egypt, and Libya havebeen replaced by regimes and war lords carving up the real estate. Stand by for civil war folks.

Yemen may be the nextto enjoy their liberation too.

El Presidente de Syria may maintain his standprovided Iran and Russia continue to assistance… from the side lines? After all where else would Hamas get their goodies from?

These revolutions remind meof the 1971 Woody Allen Movie… “Bananas”.

Woody Allen isdumped by his activist girlfriend, he travels to a fictitious tiny LatinAmerican nation, San Marcos, and becomes involved in its latest rebellion.

One despot who considered hispeople as ignorant peasants is overthrown by a revolutionary to establish a democracyand freedom for the people of San Marcos. But, when the revolutionary gets into power, he takes the same positionas his predecessor with the thoughts that the people of San Marcos are tooignorant to vote a new leader under a democratic system. He too is wacked and Woody Allen steps in asthe successor President.
