Neo Liberals and Democracy



Things do not revolve only around democracy; Democracy should always come among other concerns.
Listening to Arab liberals scrutinizing the Egyptian revolutions makes me want to yell…so here I am yelling on the internet.
How can anybody with the least amount of critical thinking identify American backed, puppet led “revolutions” (Cedar revolution – which name was picked by no other than Paula Dobriansky the undersecretary of state for global affairs – those Phoenicians couldn’t even name their revolution) with the authentic popular nationwide revolutions such as the Tunisian and Egyptian revolutions.
How can anybody call that bourgeois gathering in 2005 “a revolution against oppression that should be equally supported as the Egyptian and Tunisian revolution”
The people of Egypt revolted against the whole regime their slogans were clear sharp and authentic – Freedom, Dignity and social justice. When Mubarak declared Omar Sleiman as Vice president the crowds chanted live on TV “No Mubarak, No Sleiman both are American Agents” (it rhymes in Arabic).
But
·         What can you say about that bunch of sects who refused the Syrian army but accepted the leadership of the puppets who served the Syrians?
·         What can you say about the rebels who chose the son of the prime minister as a prime minister? (we can call it a rebellious despotic choice)
·         What can you say about the rebels (many of them) who cheered for the neoliberal economic recipes?  (we can call it rebellious sectarian blindness)
·         What can you say about a green revolution led by no other than Meer Moussawi – Khomeini’s right hand?  Are we supposed to believe that the guy suddenly became a vivid supporter of freedom?
I am no fan of either the Syrian or the Iranian regime but I do not trust any of these so called rebels and neither should any resistance movement.
Revolutions that do not identify Israel and American Imperialism as the first danger to the Arab people are not worth of our support.
