Libyan Revolution and "Islamists"

It appears that ANY bloody dictator in this whole world once he starts talking about "Al-Qaeda" the West and the whole world stands back and says keep on your atrocities against your people. Ms. Clinton it seems that you are back pedaling on the Libya issue based on the perceived threat of Al-Qaeda.

This thing is strange and unsettling Libyans are being killed by a brutal regime, a man who calls himself "King of Kings of Africa" and many other titles. The US State Department is just backing off because of his claims. In my humble opinion if the world becomes that afraid from a clear lie then we have a bigger problem.

Did AL-Qaeda win? are we that afraid? Why are we that afraid? is our government lying to us? what is the real deal and truth? Sad so Sad when your government is afraid of a ghost created by Egypt's SSIS to justify its own existence.

Egyptian Army Cracks down on Unarmed Protestors

It appears that all politicians and especially dictators like the deposed one in Egypt have some kid of a personality disorder. They all claim, some more vocal than others, that people are not capable of this that or the other. The deposed Egyptian dictator and current Egyptian Police and Military claim the Egyptians can't rule themselves democratically.

Here is a revelation for you, in my opinion, people are born free and democratic as evidenced by the Libyans, Egyptians, Tunisians that are still struggling for freedom. It is the dictators that have this weird dependency on power and the need to stay in it. The struggle is not for the welfare of the people rather the welfare of the ruling elite.

Egypt is fighting Police and Military dependency on being elites, rulers and masters of Egypt. This creates a pharaoh syndrome and then it is a struggle to ween them off this dependency. To have them finally acknowledge the fact that they live among equals does take effort and sometimes blood. It is evident in Tunisia, Libya as well with the extreme case being Libya.

It is also unfortunate that the western hemisphere is not immune to the pharaoh syndrome. Washington, for example, is doing its level best to make us believe that we really need them yet they are squandering our money, mortgaging our great grand children's future and costing us jobs and our quality of living is suffering. To remove a corrupt politician take effort and a lot of work to organize and campaign against them in an election but still could be done. People must take charge of their destiny and vote for what they believe in if you don't go to the polls then you end up with people like Blago in IL.

Egypt Mr. Obama Just a note of caution!

The status quo in the form of the Mubarak appointed Government is still in the country. People are demanding the removal and overahual of the whole system of government. Media is still state controlled and corruption is rampant at all government levels. The current military council has no reason to change the status quo, it is in their best financial interest.

The political landscape of Egypt and the Middle East is far more colorful than what Mubarak sold you. There are for sure "Islamists" yet i still fail to understand what this stupid term means if it is theocratic Islamic then of course there are those. But there are staunch Marxists, communists, socialists, moderate Muslims, left wing Christians, Left wing Muslims, right wing Christians, right wing Muslims, separatists, secularists, pan Arabists, Nasserists and other don't care-ists......etc.

The continuation of the status quo in Egypt and the fact that Mubarak's media hounds are still in control must end and fast. The demands of the people must be met or we will end up with a socialist to communist Middle East. Mubarak sold the USA a bag of goods and we paid him handsomely for it over thirty years.

Egypt needs the people to focus on a transparent civil democratic society that will create jobs and open opportunities for its people. There are those who will take advantage of this situation but the USA must stand on the right side of history and stop supporting oppressive regimes in the region.

One for Egypt
