Cameron and Sarkozy are guilty too, unfortunately
Melanie Phillips names 3 "world leaders" she sees as guilty of leading to the Arab spring winter. There's Obama, as you could expect, but also David Cameron and Nicholas Sarkozy:
So now we can see the terrible results of western liberal hubris, the so-called Arab Spring so credulously and stupidly brought into being by Barack Obama, David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy. In Libya, the American ambassador and three colleagues have been murdered. In Egypt, the embassy has been sacked. In Yemen, the mob inflamed by Muslim Brotherhood incitement has today stormed the US embassy there.Thinking back on this now, Sarkozy's defeat in the last French election, no matter how narrow, was probably deserved based on this too. If he's going to support deposing lesser evils in favor of worse ones, then he's only signaling disrespect for his own country's safety by extension. Or, how can he possibly claim to be in favor of keeping his country safe from harm if he can't do the same overseas? The same goes for Cameron.
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.
