Another false "Arab spring" crashes, like the others before it, in violence, fear and hatred. Again the Western visions prove hollow; no doubt, to be duly ressurected for the next round of self-delusion. "While the Spring of Nations introduced democracy into Eastern Europe, it could not advance the cause of liberty in Arab lands. Some 1,400 years of Muslim-Arab tyranny, guided by an imperialistic, intolerant and violent religion, which embraces terrorism and tolerates “female circumcision” (genital mutilation), constitutes too high a hurdle for the Spring of Nations."
Ettinger concludes:
The turmoil in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, Oman and Syria (and you ain’t seen nothing yet…), coupled with the expected US evacuation from Iraq and Afghanistan, the Iranian threat and the inherent non-reliability of international or Western guarantees and forces do not usher in Spring; they do usher in lethal geo-political twisters and floods, which require the retaining – and not the giveaway - of critical Israeli security assets.
