 The Arab Spring was essentially the reaction to Arabian dictatorships and suppression and/or outright violation of human rights.  Although everyone involved with the protests agreed on removing corrupt leaders, no one knew what to replace it with.

 The Arab Spring could be seen as a failure if one expected immediate results.  However, the Arab Spring uprisings show that the might of the people are enough to force corrupt rulers from their positions.  The uprisings have resulted in authoritarian governments no longer being acceptable.

 There has also been an explosion of political activity in the Middle East.  However, instability has formed between seculars and Muslim extremists, and between Sunni and Shiite Muslims.  Problems with civil wars and the future of economics are also abound.
