Well, how come the crazy government in Iran is still around?>

If we leave them alone... they WONT be. It just takes time... like Soviet Union, Iron curtain, and all that.

<How come WE supported the crazy government of Bahrain even though the "democratic" thing to do would have been to let it fall to the majority Shiite population?>

Cause we have dumb ass foreign policy very often? LOL

None of this stuff is simple and media has a LOT to do with it.>

I certainly agree with that... communication allowing individuals to become groups has TONS to do with Arab spring... Obama probably almost nothing... Bush, I dunno... my guess would be same as Obama, in fact he may have delayed the whole thing somewhat by giving despots something to rally the masses around... a "boogie man US" that may come after YOU next! LOL, of course continued invasion of countries to scare others would be a pretty stupid and horrific policy.
