The so called "Arab spring" was a complete failure and only reported as a success by our leftest media. In Libya and Egypt both countries were taken over by rebels who ended up being the Muslim brotherhood. Both now have strong Al Queda positions. As for no organized military that will only take some time. And will it be organized military or organized terrorists training camps?
There have been actions against the established government starting in 2010 in Tunisia, Algeria, Lebanon, Jordan, Oman, Mauritania, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Morocco, Sudan, Palestinian Authority, Iraq, Bahrain, Libya, Kuwait, Western Sahara and Iranian Kazakhstan.
In not one instance from the above was the results more friendly to the US. And in several it was a real change to non US partisanship. In not one instance did the results end up with any form of democratic government. In not one instance did the results end up with more freedom for the people. In several the actions resulted in less freedom for the people, more Sharia law so less rights for women and children.
Around the world there are women rights group who protest things like abortion rights, work equality, and many other issues of the day. And yet there is zero action to protest the rights of the women and children who's right to education, marriage equality, right to dress as they want, and so many other very basic needs that they lose when Sharia law is imposed on them. It seems we turn our back on these blatant losses of human rights.
So IMHO we have seen a great deal of loss and not any benefits to the changes in regime in the middle East.
