Mali: More Harvest From The Arab Spring


From this July 14, 2012 article in the Boston Globe and along the lines that we here at IBA have been saying for well over a year:
US inadvertently creates a terrorist haven in Mali

...This catastrophe did not “just happen.” It is the direct result of an episode that may at first seem unrelated: the US-led intervention in Libya last year. Rarely in recent times has there been a more vivid example of how such interventions can produce devastating unexpected results....

[...]

This is an emerging crisis that could engage the world for years. A vast region has fallen out of the control of central government and into the hands of violent radicals. They may cause far more death and suffering than Khadafy ever did....
What hath Obama wrought? 

I find it impossible to believe that nobody in the Obama administration did not consider the consequences of supporting the Arab Spring.

Hi Guys.

If you say "Arab Spring', i say look for the man who came up with the whole idea:'Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi', look at his 'friends and allies' and you can go all the way to the top.
