The Arab spring is a separate situation. Those uprisings were caused by poverty and very unpopular political decision making. As an example in Egypt Mubarak was viewed as not only being corrupt but a traitor working for America and Israel.
In contrast you have Libya which had one of the highest standards of living. They had millions of migrant workers and helpers. Why would a population that is comfortable want to risk it all. It is a very different situation in countries like Egypt where most people had nothing to lose.
