The Muslim Brotherhood took over Egypt until they were forced out by the pro West military.  Libya forced out their anti-West dictator but the country is in a total mess.  Yemen is anti tweet too and pro-Iran.The problem with a lot of Americans is you think the whole world revolves around what the U.S. wants and does.  No doubt the U.S. seeks to influence many countries to do what we want but in the end, unless we send in the troops, it often blows up in our faces.  And sending in troops is no guarantee.</blockquote>
