Egypt in turmoil.

The people of Egypt have been crying out for their freedom for years. In response the tyrannical regime of Mubarak has disappeared, tortured and murdered any opposition to it's rule. He did this with the support of the US, the UK, Israel who he blockaded Gaza for, and many others. As a dictator he destroyed the concept of human rights in full view of the same people that cry about China & Cuba while ignoring Colombia, El Salvador & did so in Afghanistan during the time of the Taliban until after 9/11. He (Mubarak) played a key role in the foreign policy of the West and so was allowed to NOT receive the same amount of criticism for it as the dictators that have been given a pass by this and especially previous administrations. But he is not Ben-Ali and he has a stronger hold on that government that any of these so called "Prince's of The Middle East." He didn't get his crown from Daddy. He built his laurels with the bones of political dissidents over the course of a 30 year reign. Remember that this in itself complicates the situation heavily. It is not as easy as just blaming the US or England or Israel although their role in his regime merits investigation. It calls for serious soul searching in the Middle Eastern and North African world about the way in which governments are allowed to exist. It is not a piece of blame that can just be passed on.

That said. The people of Egypt will not see true freedom from Mubarak simply appointing a new government, freedom can never be given to a person, it must be taken from an oppressor. A Revolution must be organic, it cannot be brought to you by Coca-Cola or come with back door deal for natural resources after the celebration is complete. I pray that day comes for Egypt. I am tired of writing long drawn out historical dissertations about the politics behind current events, so I'm not going to this time. We all see this unfolding, and even though the internet there was shut down for a while the resourceful people of Egypt started to funnel information out. The images are now all over the world.

Freedom cannot be declared by the same tyrant that fomented a state of emergency as an excuse to stay in power for decades. True freedom will only come to Egypt when the government truly represents the people and not the vested interests of corporations & foreign nations designs on the region. The people themselves must elect a new government and oust the old.

I pray for the people of Egypt, not only for the lives of those living under oppression but for the true change that must occur in order for their to be any real difference in peoples lives. Remember when Mubarak finally does leave, step down, take the easy way out, that Dictators need sponsors. Don't forget this ones. It might be closer to you than you might possibly imagine. (That ones for the British Supporters on the page.) But besides remembering who kept him in power abroad, think of the complacency in a society and what we trade for so called "stability" ....

Because the world is coming to a realization and this is only the beginning.

Con Amor de Revolucion,
