I need someone smarter than me to help put what is going on into some sort of perspective/historical context.
The successful Egypt revolution has prompted demonstrations in a host of other countries. So....what do you guys think? I mean, is this the kind of grassroots demand for democracy and freedom that the West was long hoping would come to fruition in countries where dictators had long held their people hostage? Or is this something much less grand? Is it just a spoke in the history of the region, or a genuine start of change that will be felt for ever more? Will freedom and democracy really take root...is that really what the people are fighting for....or will chaos ultimately be replaced by even more oppression, such as what happened in Afghanistan with the Taliban? A large part of me is rooting for every single one of these groups of protesters in places like Iran, Bahrain, Yemen.....but...are they really the good guys? I just don't know... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:334406 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
