Of course he wasn't wrong about that. Where he went wrong was thinking it was America's job to "liberate" these people. These things need to happen from within, like we see in Tunisia and Egypt.

They cannot happen from within in every country, even if the people want it.

-Egyptians (Sunni Muslims) rise up against their tyrannical ruler -> immediate outpouring of sympathy from the Muslim world.

-Iraqi Shias and Kurds wage successive uprisings against Saddam during his brutal reign -> indifference at best, supportive at worst... ethnosectarian factor, anyone?
