Facebook Revolution?

With perfect predictability, the digital dreamland called "Arab Spring" turns to nightmare. Rag-tag tweet-twit militia men in jeeps vs. a disciplined, trained army with tanks and artillery? Is there even a video game that dumb?  Anybody with half a brain could see that the "Facebook Revolution" idea was preposterous on its face -- a silly, stupid, social-media fantasy of the first order.

The blame goes straight to fools like Barack Obama who -- with zero intention of providing any serious support --  cynically encouraged this debacle, and who have succeeded only in getting a lot good people killed, putting the Muslim Brotherhood and worse into power, and destroying whatever hopes women and minorities may have had.  The depth of folly here beggars the imagination.
