Obama’s Arab Spring,…

The New Neo Posted on June 19, 2013 by neoJune 19, 2013

…making the world safe* for Islamicists. I called it Obama’s Arab Spring, but that’s a bit unfair, because although he has a big role I’m not at all sure that anyone could have prevented this. The Arab world is what … Continue reading →
