The lesson here is you can spend $9 Billion a month, over a Trillion dollars, (at the time of writing this article) and kill tens of thousands of innocent people in an endless war or you can isolate and alienate dictatorial regimes and stand with the people when they decide they have had enough.
Arguably, the populations in both Egypt and Iraq may have had the same complaints. On one hand, the US recklessly got involved and spent lives and treasure it could not afford. On the other hand Egypt and Tunisia fell under the weight of their popular uprisings.
I think there’s a strong case to me made for non-intervention.
(and when I say non-intervention, I also mean not subsidizing and arming regimes that are hostile toward their people.)
