The US Just Stands and Watches

Süddeutsche Zeitung, Germany  "The United States supported none of the revolutionaries in the Arab Spring uprisings and today is being fearlessly challenged by them. America has lost its influence in the region because of Obama's policy of wanting both change and the status quo."
....
"A key feature of the Arab Spring is that it is playing out without assistance from the United States and that the defining, decades-old conflict between Israel and its neighbors only plays a subordinate role. This again indicates a massive loss of American influence and importance in the region — both as a classic military and economic power and as a role model for those who love freedom."  Via Watching America
