» George W Bush with Tony Blair decided in 2003 that Saddam Hussein in Iraq had to be removed from power. The same policy continued eight years later with the so-called Arab Spring. Hosni Mubarak in Egypt and Moammar Gadhafi in Libya were the next to be deposed in the name of human rights. The alleged intention was to replace despots with democracy.
