The Blossom Of Arab Spring
Sep. 15th, 2012 04:55 pmHere's a link to an Israeli article that details the radicalization of the Arab world that grew out of the Arab Spring uprising. The US State Department didn't want to believe this was happening, as they had been one of the forces supporting these popular revolutions.
"The Americans were constantly trying to supply explanations and excuses for events in the post-revolution Arab states, and simply ignored the problems," one senior Israeli official said, adding, "In practice the administration's ability to affect events in the Arab world has decreased immensely."
The recent video trailer, lately re-dubbed with provocative insults, and posted to YouTube by an Egyptian ex-con, is merely a trigger that shows us the shape of things to come.
