No Arab Spring

The Arab Spring just doesn't happen. Mubarak remains president of Egypt, Gaddafi still in charge of Libya, and the Syrian Civil War never happens.

2011
Oil prices are lower than OTL, leading to faster recovery from the recession. In the United States, politics is more focused at home, and more media attention is payed towards Obamacare and the GOP congress' push for repeal. Due to the better economy, the debt ceiling crisis happens later in the year than OTL.
