Sorry to be raining on your parade here. The first wave of "democracy" the Arabs had is when the colonial rulers left and they ethnically cleansed their countries from Jews and established Soviet-style "people's democracies". Then we have Gaza, which also had a people's revolution and is now even more of an impoverished and belligerent dictatorship. Now we are getting a similar "revolution" in Lebanon.
But don't let facts interfere with your worldview.
- JonnieCache 16y agoThere are no facts here yet. Egypt is still as we speak literally in the midst of chaos. You cannot yet know what will be built from the rubble and neither can anyone else, except those who will be doing the building.
- dsfsadfsadf 16y agoThe only political force that is sufficiently organized to take power in Egypt is the Muslim Brotherhood, so it's pretty obvious what is going to come out of this.
- sofuture 16y agoThen we have Gaza, which also had a people's revolution and is now even more of an impoverished and belligerent dictatorship. You mean under Israel, right?
- cema 16y agoNo, they were economically better off "under Israel". Of course, life cannot be reduced to just economical issues.
