He was the first “domino” to fall in the Arab Spring.

This is a weird one.. i think ..the country was more prosperous under his regime . US news i read place him as a successful dictator at the time of his outster . Tunisia , like parts of Iran , very successful and civilized , well educated too . Aware USA has issues with Iran but cannot . See these countries ,
Wanting wars or revolts , but after seeing legal inequities here in USA
Am left only to wonder ..? Tin hat DAs using positions to legally take away civil rights of individuals in the area of his supposed jurisdiction . Causes one to wonder . Especially if you have been the subject of such activities .
