I never said this was an invasion, I'm responding to someones question on why the US DOESN'T just use military action against every country.

For example, when Russia ivaded Georgia their reasoning to the UN was that they had the same reasons the US had to invade Iraq, in other words if the US can do it why can't they?

Different example. Georgia was threatening a recognized semi-autonomous territory. America in Iraq was more of a straight "we don't like you so there," example.

Funnily looking back, all of this 2011 noise might have lead to a popular revolt against Saddam Hussein's Iraq if we had never interfered, though the installation of reasonably successful democracy there might have been what inspired them...

That's whats on record.

Actually, it's more or less the removal of Saddam that shows how successful these movements may or may not be.

If we never went into Iraq Qadhafi would not have surrendered his WMD's to the US and UK he would have gassed or worse nuked his own people or the people. There's more causing these uprisings than poverty and communication - these people have a will and a rolling success. I mean it's not just Tunisia or Bahrain or Libya or Egypt it's the entire North African region and Arabia, I believe the only Arab country in the region not in some kind of revolt would be Turkey.

Coverage seems to only be going on the ones with large scale protests going on but there are some news outlets touching on the 1000 something people protests.

This does make things easier I think for the US moving along, I had always thought after Afghanistan would be Pakistan and back to Lebanon but Syria has gone into the same internal issues as well.

 

Reminds me of that a little

Turkey's not Arab, not to nitpick.
