The thing is, as these grassroots movements gather pace, you might see a wholesale shift in MENA politics gravitating towards the East (India / China). Despite wars in Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan, MENA was pretty much "meh" towards the US, with only a fringe harbouring ill-will, because the majority believed the US stood for liberty, like Hollywood told them. This is quickly changing in no small part due to disinfo and social media. Opportunist politicians in these countries are guaranteed to ride this shift in the Overton Window for their own gains.
