With the Arab Spring happening this year seemingly from nowhere many people have asked where it came from and what was the inspiration? How do strongmen who have ruled for decades suddenly lose their countries in a matter of days (Tunisia), weeks (Egypt) or months (Libya and probably Yemen). Other people have asked what the inspiration is for these uprisings and have compared the Libyian Revolution to the Iraqi Wars to understand what went right and what went wrong. I believe my next article for Praemon.org will be on this subject but just so you have something to wet your appetite I will include a link to an interesting article below:
I hope you read this article and think about how the United States can effectively help other people's realize their dreams of democracy rather than be mired in occupation like we have in Iraq and Afghanistan for the past decade. Happy reading!
