George W. Bush speech on how and why arabs would stand up. Wise words from a war criminal, but I also do not think he is "stupid" more then controlled. Stupid imply to me that you dont blame him for his actions and that he is somewhat excused for his crimes. No way I will accept that. He is to blame, as much as Obama, to keep the soldiers in both countries, just privatized in Iraq with the huge bases placed to circle Iran and to "defend american interests", and in Afghanistan where the 60.000 "pull out" was cheered as a peaceful sign. Well the same day the state department had to also remind the correct group of journalists that this still ment that there were more soldiers there then before Obama came into office.
So are we giving credit to Bush by using this phrase and somehow legitimize the murderous annexation and the ongoing occupation? I clearly dont want this and I see Bush as much the problem that caused the civilian populations of the Middle East then any of the dictators that control their arm of the empire.
I also dislike the "arab" part of it. It reinforces one group of people strongly together, but disenfranchize other big groups, that will be sorted by "face color". It also makes clear what borders this can occur in. It automaticly removes the revolts seen in Greece, Spain, Britain (not only the riots) and Wisconsin. Iran is sometimes accepted in it, but it being 50% arab only, sometimes its also not counted. The african revolts also gets downprioritized and limited in the press.
I guess Africans need to learn that this is not their time for freedom, the western news consumers cannot consume all these colored people acting up against their leaders, that we see shaking our leaders hands, when the other countries are so much worse? No, freedom is only for the few and will not be taken when not given.
Spring can also lead to a "time window" where it is accepted for these changes and that more cannot occur after this. If your country is to late, then to bad for them I guess.
As with Syria we all know the horrors of the brutal regime that we knew would be able to act like this. I hope the people now have something they did not have in the 80's; communication on higher levels. The possibility to organize something without a leader, someone that can easily be corrupted, and stand up against the brutality.
However it is not acceptable that we now see other dictators, like Saudi king, who even abuses the civilians in the neighbouring country and build his country on slavery, now have an enemy outside of its borders that the people can focus on. Willingly helped by the media, arab and western, to try and build up these demonstrations. Hopefully people will abuse the dumb king and just meet up at the "accepted" demonstrations and then show the true colors of how they feel at oppression at home.
I hope Israelis will keep it up and throw away their abusive and murderous leaders. How can warmongerers ever make peace? Only by control and violence. Why trust leaders using rethoric as weapons, both for stalling (palestinian papers), oslo agreement and all talks of "discussions". It holds no value when they say this and keeps on doing what they say they will not (settlements) and segregating Palestine. Its not the Gaza strip and the West bank, its Palestine and the state created by terror israel. Its a clear tactic to seperate this unity both physically (wall), mentally (hours of "checkpoints" to cross and being denied by a foreign state to walk in his own land), destruction of infrastructure (housedemolitions, bombing whatever) etc etc. Never accept this seperation, you will be playing into the zionist plans of divide and conquer.
