I told you 7 years ago that Arab Spring was a disaster; the wrong way to go about change (essential change was needed but this was the wrong way as we have seen).

yes you were really Spot On JK (did you channel me again and pick my mind ?)

Alternatively Morocco didn't buy into the Arab Spring (although it's difficult to gauge the positive influences on that glorious country by previous French and Spanish rulers) which yet again indicates to me:

Countries that have and respect and preserve Royal Families and their dynasties are not just far more interesting and colorful but relatively stable.

IE: UK, Jordon etc and Thailand..the manner in which the Thais revere the Thai Royal Family is a joy to see and even silly old Hedda (but looking so youthful) stands and salutes at 4pm when the Thai Royal National Anthem is played on the teevee every day.

Spot On indeed Hedda; Jordan and Morocco are good examples and I sometimes think that the UK should ask the monarchy to take back MORE functions than it has, as uncontrolled democracy proves a failed method. Not extremes again (as both Morocco and Jordan have shown, by pulling back on extreme monarchy and allowing a better combination of democracy and monarchy).
