 First off...I want to congradulate the people of Egypt for refusing to be led by corrupt, incompetent men. Democratically elected or not...no one is born to be a slave to another mans visions. If the people of Egypt feel, felt, that the Muslim Brotherhoods vision for their nation, future, was 'off' or not shared by others...than good riddans to them. Based on the fact that it was all kind of a sham anyways...The Muslim Brother hood didn't start last years revolt, they simply hi-jacked it for their own personal gain...again I say good riddens. But here is what troubles me.... Other nations, including the U.S. are now talking about withdrawing financial aid to Egypt because a 'Democraticly elected administration was over thrown'...(a corrupt and incompetent one)... U.S. threatens to withdraw aid from Egypt after people have spokenSomething about this (read the link above) is foul to me...  Let me keep it as street and basic as I can... Why would our Government punish the people of Egypt for not wanting to live under religious tyranny? Democratically elected or not...that's like saying if the KKK was democratically elected into office in America, that the citizens of this nation must sit back and 'like it'... BS...to the fourth power. Of all the years, decades, our Government has had the opportunity to withdraw aid from Egypt, Libya, and other brutal regimes, why now? Are the right wingers correct when they accuse this administration of propping up and supporting the Muslim Brotherhood? Are the people of Egypt suppose to accept this crony style of Democracy just to appease certain 'underworld powers?' Truth is...Egypt went 'off script'....this wasn't suppose to happen, was not engineered to happen... The people of Egypt refuse to go along with some 'underworld' 'Secret society' world script...and like the Truman show...have steered off script...  This is a scene from the Truman Show, starring Jim Carrey, where he realizes his whole life is a script, a TV show...and he has finally had enough...but the producers of the show do their best to detour him from leaving the set. The same thing is going on in Egypt...but in this case Jim Carrey is represented by the citizens, and the producers are the U.S. and other such nations... The Egyption citizens have said 'enough'...we're tired of being used as 'extras' in someone elses movie, design... To be continued... |

Again I must repeat...the Egyptian population has unexpectedly gone off script.
This sudden revolt was not calculated by the Secret world powers that be.
The citizens of Egypt were suppose to go along with their new Government, and like it, and behave.
But something went wrong...the people are 'awake now'...maybe more have tasted true freedom, than have not.
Maybe once you have tasted, felt, true freedom, it's impossible to go back to brutal, totalitarian rule...be it the state or religious leaders that implement it.
State totalitarian and Religious totalitarian rule or one and the same...and seek to control all aspects of peoples lives.
Maybe the people have just had enough...maybe social media has a role in that, I mean when enough younger people see, through the media, the freedoms their counterparts in the West or North enjoy, maybe seeing that, interrelating with those who are free, has just awakened people of Egypt.
All that said...I don't think anyone is certain or knows what form of Governance would work over there.
I do know American style democracy can't just be repeated around the world in like weeks...pop up democracy.
It took America centuries to form, America went through many wars, civil war, Revolutionary wars, Britian wars of independence, Mexican/American wars, Native American wars, slavery, reconstruction, social segregation, the rise of the Klan, civil rights era, on and on...American style democracy didn't just form in 1 week.
So how people can expect other nations to form instant pop up democracies in weeks, that's unrealistic.
America didn't even do that...it took centuries of tweeking, economics, Government grants and funding and contracts that made small companies into gigantic ones...
The forming of the middle class and so on...it was a work in progress.
It also took a very intergral tax system to help fund the building of the infrastructure, like bridges, highways, sewer lines, tunnels, electrical networks, parks, on and on and on.
All this just can't be replicated in 1 week by any nation.
to be continued...

 Pop up, instant, microwave Democracies just don't work...sorry, but they don't...and Egypt needs to 'slow down'...breath, relax and stretch...before holding instant, shizzle minizzle elections so soon again...  Isn't that right Snoop? Anyways... Ye, why they feel the need to ram cram democratic elections down peoples throats so quick, is not wise, in my opinion. Democracy is not like microwave instant popcorn, and I really feel the people of Egypt should slow down, pause, and think about where they're at in their countries history. Don't be in such a hurry to put a crony democratic President in office, just to appease the world powers that be. When you do that, you always end up with a leader you regret... Egypt just kind of needs a 'time out' right now... ....a time out to think...think...and think some more, about the true benefiscal direction they want their nation to go in, that will benefit the people in the long run... |
