The "Arab Spring" -- Isn't!

There has been a lot of nonsense about the "Arab Spring" being this "new awakening of democracy" and other bull___t written and spoken over the last couple of years.  Unfortunately, it has largely become a replacement of US-installed and supported dictators with a different set of dictators.  Not supported as lavishly by American $$$ - but still pretty reprehensible individuals.
