Death of US Ambassador and Impact on the Arab Springs.




The Death of the US ambassador and attack on the embassy came as a shock to many; it was a common idea that after overthrowing Mummar Gaddafi the situation in Libya would be fine.  As dictator after dictator has been removed from power, either through force of arms or the overwhelming strength of popular discontent, Western leaders have universally given their support in this Arab springs cause, but what we don’t see happening is them supporting and helping these countries form proper and legitimate reformed governments. This attack on the embassy has shown the dangerous currents that are swirling beneath the reform movements. This attack on the Americans may result in them to be hesitant when it comes to the next country they consider helping in the Arab spring movement which is very negative for the area, as the U.S is a key ally in many of the rebel movements.
