Like britexpat I too have seen many changes in and around the Gulf, Iraq and Iran,now you have Egypt and Syria into the bargain.

Syria begging for weapons raping their own women, probabley 70.000 now dead and millions displaced - kidnapped UN helpers etc etc., Pakistan killing girls who want to be educated apart from being unable to control the Kyber Pass into Afghanistan (which by the way was and is an infamous are for weapon traffikers and drugs etc. also attacking and murdering non Muslims, Egypt now Killing Coptic Christians and the general public now hating the Muslim brotherhood, Lybia in chaos with many tribal leaders looking for power, Iraq the same thing millions murdered by tribal gangs Tunisia murdering opposition leaders, Yemen in complete chaos.

Please tell me how the Arab Spring has brought peace to the Arab world and why any one would believe the that you are all seeking a better life - moreover, how you want to change the lives of all these millions of civilist for the better. I am baffled about the word impieralist from people who seem never to have to been in a war nor a revolution. If you don't believe in the improvements made here in the Gulf to keep their people and foreigners safe, I would suggest "pick up thy gun and go home" fight for your beliefs and country as well your freedom, because the Arab Spring has neither brought freedom nor peace anywhere just the opposite.
