One Arab World

1 - As if Ayman Nour would be any better, the guy is a flunkie who cant run his own party let alone a country.

2 - If Ayman Nour is to be freed, does that mean he is innocent & falsely accused & imprisoned? If so, then surely the judges who sentenced him are in cahoots with the government then how were the egyptian judges nominated by some for their stand during the elections?
I like the bit where Ayman nour's son DEMANDS mubarak to free his father to give egypt a second chance to free it from the tyranny of the guy he is asking him to release his father...makes alot of sense! (Comment this)

3 - I don't think Ayman Nour is the answer to our prayers, but he sure deserves a fair trial.
The 0% Hosni got on that poll is no surprise but still quite striking, isn't it? (Comment this)

4 - Dear friends,

I know Mubarak has deep and troubling security concerns (stuff we don't know or appreciate sometimes) but it does NOT have to be done like this.

I pray for this man and his family.

And God Bless Egypt! (Comment this)

5 - Mubarak's rotten regime in particular and Arabs rulers in general are despotic corrupt dictators who sized freedom and tend to inherits it's power to their offsprings. They are diehard due to US unconditional support. Will you then blame Osama Bin Laden for his jihad against US interest. He may have wrong means, but his end to kick US out of Arabs land is absolutely acceptable. (Comment this)

“Mubarak's rotten regime in particular and Arabs rulers in general are despotic corrupt dictators who sized freedom and tend to inherits it's power to their offsprings. They are diehard due to US unconditional support.”


Rubbish. There are plenty of despotic Arab regimes that are hostile to the US (Syria, Libya, etc). They are diehard for a number of reasons that have nothing to do with the US. Except for Iraq, the US doesn’t have its military roaming Arab lands keeping your dictators in power. You may accurately argue about US money funded to the Egyptian government, but that argument does not hold for the other Arab countries.

Blaming the US for your dictators hurts you more than it does the US, because it perpetuates a mindset that you can do nothing to solve your problems.

7 - Strange Attractor, Well, that's not completely correct. Although I'm not a friend of the "The West & Israel are responsible for all our problems" thesis (which is unfortunately a very popular one among muslims; I referred to this in another posting), I must object to your point of view as well. Because if you trace Western and in particular US interference in islamic countries in the preceding decades, you will find out that this involvement was rather harmful to the democratic and modernization process than beneficial. The very best example for this point of view is Iran (though this is not an Arab but nevertheless Muslim country and I believe a positive development here could have influenced the whole region in a positive way as well).
In exchange for lucrative deals the West supported the Shah regime, a regime from which the Iranians suffered severely, for decades and even prevented its subversion by democratic forces under Mossadegh through a CIA coup. If the West would have supported Mossadeghs efforts at that time we could possibly have a democracy in Iran today. But money was more important than ideals and therefore the Islamists eventually came into power.
This was the situation back in the 50s and this is also the situation today. Also today the West supports despots all over the islamic and arab world. You argue now that there are plenty of Arab states that are hostile to the USA and give the examples of Syria and Libya etc. but you neglect that exactly these unsubmissive states are on the list of the rogue nations and have been threatened with military intervention by the US that accuse them of support of terrorism.
On the other hand Saudi-Arabia, the centre of islamic fundemantelism and mainly responsible for the spread of such ideas around the world through financial means, the country from which most terrorist of 9/11 stemmed is the USA's second-best ally in the region (after Israel). In exchange for the obedient delivery of oil and support of military bases the West seems to ignore that this is really the most dangerous and most repressive islamic country in the world. Again economic interests have priority and ideals play no role.
Instead of taking necessary steps against this country the USA continue to threaten countries like Iran, a country which had a healthy democratic development before the Iraq war. However, the aggressive military intervention has led to a stagnation of this progress recently.
I don't want to transmit the impression that the Arabs and in more general the Muslims aren't mainly to be blamed for their present mischief, but depriving the Western countries of all guilt appears wrong to me, too. (Comment this)
