1. Actually, it did.

"The regional unrest has not been limited to countries of the Arab world. The early success of uprisings in North Africa was inspired by the uprisings of disenchanted people in the Middle Eastern states of Iran<384><385> and Turkey<386> to take to the streets and agitate for reforms. These protests, especially those in Iran,<387> are considered by many commentators to be part of the same wave that began in Iran and later Tunisia and has gripped the broader Middle Eastern and North African regions."

Except, in Iran, it was brutally suppressed - they had no help from outside, like Libya did. Libya would have failed like Iran without outside help.

Duh! Santorum.

Unfortunately for him (lucky for us) he is incapable of communicating his innermost thoughts to anybody else in a coherent way.
