Arab Spring

About that Arab street.

It's interesting that for years and years - even in high school in the 1980s - we kept hearing about the "Arab street" yet all we saw were people waving their fists in town squares amounting to nothing except to be the butt end of our Western jokes. We were conditioned to believe it was all because of the Jooooos!

Fast forward to the Arab spring of 2011. It was all about toppling their own regimes. This is not to say the fear of Israel is not there, or the same old boss will take over or that a blanket of extreme Islam won't take over, but the bottom line is the Arab people did what many observers felt needed to be done first: Look in the mirror and clean up your own mess first.

It's a start.
