[Zhang Fei]

We expected that post-Qaddafi Libya, and an Egypt without Hosni Mubarak, would be far better. They might be some day. But right now, emerging Islamic republics are hardly democratic. Some seem every bit as anti-American as were the dictatorships they replaced — and they could be even more intolerant of women, tribal minorities, and Christians.

Frankly, the bolded part is nonsensical. Gaddafi and Mubarak weren't great humanitarians. But they accommodated us to the extent that their rabidly anti-American populations would allow without revolting. All the Arab Spring has achieved is force the West to face the reality of the unappeasable hatred of the Arab man on the street for the infidels whose rightful place is under the heel of the Muslim faithful.
