Melanie Phillips Roasts the Idiot Infidel Trio--Obama, Cameron, Sarkozy--Who Midwifed the "Arab Spring"
She writes (which scorn and asperity galore):
How Obama et al preened and postured over their role in helping the Libyan ‘opposition’ get rid of Gaddafy! How they congratulated themselves at the fall of Mubarak in Egypt!
It was the dawn of democracy, they gushed, a new era for Libyans and Egyptians who were all on Twitter and Facebook and so were clearly modern folk keen to enjoy human rights and the rule of law, and who could now have all of that thanks to the enlightened help of Obama, Cameron and Sarkozy.
In fact, the most likely result always was the empowerment of Islamic radicals who would enslave the people and make war against the west. Obstinately, these arrogant western fools nevertheless stuck to their fantasy of a democratic ‘spring’, even while the evidence mounted up that what they had actually done was create a vacuum which would unleash the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic radicals and thus set Libya and Egypt on a path back towards the 7th century.
In Egypt, they helped depose a ruler who was in the pocket of the west; the man they helped install instead, Mohamed Morsi, is not only a Muslim Brotherhood placeman but has been cosying up to Iran. An alliance between the Sunni mortal enemies of the west and the Shia mortal enemies of the west – that’s quite an achievement. Well done, Obama, Cameron and Sarkozy!...
Zut alors! Do I smell sense a Nobel Peace Prize in the offing?

I must confess that, at times during the initial "blooming" of the Arab Spring, hearing or reading supposedly sophisticated _conservative_ experts on the Middle East--e.g., the commentariat at the _Weekly Standard_, men and women who really should be past the age where they'll sell the family's milk cow for a magic bean--wax romantic about the overthrow-in-progress of proven pro-Western regimes, I had a nearly overwhelming urge to gnaw on my own liver. Knowing that Melanie Phillips felt the same way provides some (cold) comfort.
