The Arab spring comparison I'd make here is the people who said, within days of protests breaking out, that this will end with ruin, war, jihadism and Islamist takeovers. They turned out to be right! But I find it hard to be mad that everyone else didn't immediately go there.

I'm sure the way this has rolled out globally and especially in the US has been more deterministic and predictable than what happened in Egypt or Syria in 2011-12. But I also think there were good grounds to be cautious about worst case scenario mongering in late January.
