Arab Spring :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Lee Hirsch (United States), Jun 1, 2011 at 18:31

In a report on the Mid-East changes to a senior adult class, I used the title: "The Mideast in Turmoil." Liike you I did not think "Aab Spring" was an appropriate term. As you inidcate, the word "Spring" does not fit either in the season or in reality such a positive potential effect on the area....
