Seriously, though, no. Right now, those protestors are not our* enemies, they do not hate us*, and actually appreciate the gestures of support we* are making. Setting aside the 5% who are dogmatically anti-western religious nutters, the vast majority of the rebellious Arabs want human rights, honest law, and a government answerable to the people, i.e. Western values.
Played correctly, this is an opportunity on a scale not seen since the velvet revolution of 1989.
ETA * our, us and we are in reference to The West rather than the USA specifically.
