There is no Arab Spring, only a Muslim Winter

The as usual brilliant Daniel Greenfield explains the fecklessness and idiocy of the current Urekl regime and its woeful and sheer stupidity of "foreign policy" because "...bad assumptions lead to bad policy. Western governments rushed to treat every large group of protesters as the will of the people. Chants and slogans took the place of the voting booth."

SO DAMNED TRUE DAT - IT AIN'T FUNNY!


Mr. Greenfielf states there is no "Arab spring" only a Muslim winter because "The Western elite rushed out of their ivory towers to cheer on what they dubbed the ‘Arab Spring’, but it was a false spring. Its proper historical placement was not with the revolutions of 1848, but the Egyptian and Iraqi coups of 1952 and 1958. The decline of British and French colonial influence toppled Middle Eastern monarchies. The fall of American influence, combined with the malign power of the left, engineered the overthrow of pro-American governments in Egypt and Tunisia, as it had in Iran. There is no Arab Spring, only a Muslim Winter.

Western elites have been patting the Muslim world on the head, whispering soothing praises in its ears and hoping that it will reform and turn their lies into truths. And in their minds, to “reform” means to become like them. To adopt their system of government and their way of life. So it has been an article of faith that the trouble of the Muslim world is not religious, but political. Not Islam, but dictatorships. Open up the voting booths and every pile of rubble occupied by Bedouin barbarians with 7th century mores and 20th century weapons will become just like Norway. Democracy will save Muslims from themselves. And save us from them too."

"How could we stumble into the same mess over and over again? Bad assumptions lead to bad policy. Unless the assumptions get a spring cleaning, the same mistakes will keep on happening over and over again.

If you assume that a moral policy (by your lights) must also be a successful one, then you will keep presiding over disasters until you learn otherwise."

How can the USA stumble? BY CONTINUING TO "HIRE" COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS INTO POSITIONS OF POWER LIKE THE fake, usurper POTUS.

THAT'S HOW.
