The Myth of Non-Violence in the "Arab Spring"

"We saw in those protesters the moral force of non-violence that has lit the world from Delhi to Warsaw, from Selma to South Africa -- and we knew that change had come to Egypt and to the Arab world."  Americans invent a lie and then they believe it, or pretend to believe it.  Here is one.  I mean, after Libya, they are still talking about non-violence in the struggle about dictatorship?  And a US official just admitted a few days ago that more Syrian protesters are resorting to arms against the regime, so why do they still insist on the notion of non-violent Arab spring?  I don't get it (well, I do, but still).
