Llama Time - Optimism and the Arab Spring

The muses of Larry, the Talking Llama. In today's segment, Larry relays the views of his buddy Kareem the Kamel, who is depressed over the evolution of the Arab Spring. While the initial momentum was for the removal of hated dictatorships and ushering in democracy, the reality in countries such as Egypt and Libya is quite different. But Larry is an optimist, and points out that a new generation of youth took to the streets. True, they didn't win, but we're dealing with a long match not a single round, and they learned some harsh lessons like not trusting the military. The final chapter is yet to be written, Larry proclaims. teleSUR
