The Arab Spring is so called because the weather is best in spring. Buds appear on trees, flowers begin to bloom, grass starts to grow. In short: the world becomes more beautiful. The current Arab uprising resembles spring since its intent is also to make the world a better and more beautiful place.
The "winter" that plagued the Arab World before this Arab Spring was populated by dictators and their corrupt and repressive regimes. When these systems can be removed, space will exist for internal development, education, less poverty and fewer diseases. In this restructured and more beautiful environment, Arabs will be capable of building up their countries and take part in the international game from which they have been excluded so far.

Some Arab countries that were not greatly impacted by the Arab Spring include Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Jordan. These countries implemented some reforms to prevent large-scale protests or unrest, and their governments were able to maintain a level of stability throughout the period of the Arab Spring.
