Not really?
Reader comment on item: The Slap Heard Around the World
Submitted by Westie (United States), Dec 17, 2011 at 12:26
Dr. Pipes,
I know you do not think a Tunisian fruit vendor's problems set off the "Arab Spring" revos? I think this meme must just be for laughs, right? I think with a minimum amount of investigation into the US State Dept's pet program The National Endowment for Democracy should provide the most likely catalyst of the most recent events in NE Africa.
