Arab revulsions and revolutions

So Egypt is free. Well almost, free from a tyrant and dictator. However, there is a long way to go. Egypt is of integral interest to us outsiders. Not only because of the march of the Israelis about their security. They'll be fine. Actually on second thoughts they are surrounded by arab muslims lands and the people are rather angry. Maybe they should be paranoid.

If you put a living breathing creature in a corner he will attack. What we have seen in Tunisia, Egypt and now Bahrain, Libya, Morroco, Algeria, Yemen and probably some more to come is a mass revulsion at their poverty and the misrepresentations of their govts. The basic rule is that govts are supposed to represent the will of the people. In practise that barely works in the west but the way it works in arab lands is like this.

'So you want freedom?'
'yes'
'I can get you some dog turd and a jail'
'what?'
'too late, here's shit on your face'

But the most amazing things about all these revolutions and especially the Egytian revolutions is that they were peaceful, secular revolutions that were held in a very disciplined way. Not the stereotype that the BBC et all tried to keep bashing at. Kind of like this

muslims = frothing in the mouth, anti semitic shariah implementers

It simply wasn't true. Hell, the muslim brotherhood weren't aware of any revolution until the young people organised it themselves.

Also, something that bothers me, the majority of egptians are poor people. They say this was a social network revolution. These people haven't got access to clean water where the hell did they get access to the internet!

Anyway, I am extremely happy. Why you ask as I am not arab. I am happy because the west and israel should capitalise on this and not try to uphold dictatorships and tyrants and then hyprocritically talk about 'freedom' and 'human rights'. Progression in the middle east and proper democracy for the people and from the people should be a long term goal of the USA/Israel interests as it will benefit them and will secure their future. This paragraph is very important. As soon as a people feel helpless that they can't change anything, they will resort to 'other' means. It's human nature.

Oh and mark my words, muslim brotherhood or any other militant aspect of islam have no danger of coming in power in the arab lands. They might get a few seats. But that's the price you pay for a truly free country. The arab people know that pluralism is the answer. They've had too many 9/11s' of their own.
