The Arab Spring was in 2011...
The seeds were set in 2003 when Bush wrongfully invaded Iraq.

So you're saying Dubya caused millions of Arabs throughout the Middle East to rise up against their oppressors? Wouldn't they have to regard him as some sort of prophet or something? :lol:
If that's true, then why was the French foreign minister publicly pleading for intervention by the U.S. and other major powers? You're drinking the Kool-Aid again, Pete.

Nobody says that the EU does not have members as do Euroland and Schengenland with a mess of overlapping and sometimes contradictory responsibilities of the various memberships. That does not mean that you can point at a country that refused to join Schengenland for not paying for problems that to a good extent result from that treaty. It is the messed up and arrogantly dilettante wEuropean countries organized the continent that makes one and all members responsible. So yes. It is the EU (and its members).
And again, you are wrong that the Euro induced recession is not responsible for the stagnating economies' leading to even worse fiscal positions in a number of countries like Italy and Greece who have been forced to cut spending on many things. One of these things has been the Schengenland boarders.
For **** sake.. Schengen is INTERNAL! The EEC/EU has always had the policy of each country protects its external borders, but schengen removed internal border controls. This is an external border issue, or have you totally missed that?
LOL Euro induced recession.. HAHAHHA now that is hilarious... are you saying the crisis is because of the Euro and not because of the American sub-prime crash? SERIOUSLY?
And Italy has always been at the front line and financing has never been an issue. Only Greece has been an issue, but they regardless of the crisis have kept up their commitment. Blaming the Euro is just utterly lame and false. That is like blaming the strong dollar for the influx of illegals into the US... makes absolutely no sense.

YOUR words, and they reveal YOUR inner landscape. I said no such thing. Still didn't answer the question I posed.
Er yes.. that was the Bush policy in the middle east.. or did you forget Iraq all of a sudden?
That was an invasion, not exactly spontaneous demonstrations calling for the ouster of Saddam. In any case, that happened in 2003. I thought you were talking about the Arab Spring. Regardless, your contention that Little Bush was responsible for the Arab Spring is flattering, but laughable.
LOL so US policy under Bush in destabilizing dictatorships they did not like, had nothing to do with the Arab Spring..? Seriously? Do you think this crap happens over night?
