Events in Egypt in the last period of serious concern in academic circles of America, especially those close to Israel, the Egyptian Revolution that overthrew the regime Hosni Mubarak's dictatorship, were the most important demands are concentrated in the establishment of a civil state of democracy, heading in a path different to put young people who set off this revolution. Washington Institute for Near East Policy, U.S., warned in its latest report that the opportunities to take the revolution of January 25, "a quantum non-democratic" are "high, are terrifying," adding that the attacks on the headquarters of embassies of Israel and Saudi Arabia in Cairo, not only the most recent vow to do so. The report said that although the junta seemed confused too as a result of these events so much that he announced his intention to use emergency laws that are rejected by many Egyptians, against the riots and chaos, but he warned that "it also contained the same mass protests that toppled President Hosni Mubarak since 8 months, may finally move against the current military rulers. " He continued: "If this happens, the military may not be in favor of political change as it was in February." The tone of ironic, said institute director Robert Satloff: "The fact of the matter is that there is nothing else like image of the former president is on a bed mobile within a metal cage in a Cairo court, can make members of the Military Council reconsider their desire to return to their barracks and hand over power to civilian authority new elected. " Satloff said that the possibility that the Egyptian revolution take a quantum non-democratic policies, either toward the more radical, anti-liberal, and the West, or toward the dictatorship of a new, very scary. Satloff, which is chaired by the Institute, research arm of the Organization of AIPAC, one of the most important Jewish lobby organizations, pro-Israel in the United States, said that regardless of any path taken by the revolution in Egypt, the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty will be the victim certainly. He said that peace between the two countries have been emptied of its content effectively, but even before the fall of Mubarak, the peace was dependent on 4 key elements is to pump Egyptian gas to Israel and the Qualified Industrial Zones, and diplomatic relations limited security cooperation and intelligence in the face of Islamic militants. He said that for the United States, the situation collapsed in Egypt in general, and the deplorable situation of the Egyptian-Israeli peace in particular, is a disaster to "photography slow," stressing that the fate of Egypt entail very serious consequences for U.S. interests, outweigh a large fall of Gaddafi, or diplomatic confrontation with the Palestinians in the United RAAN or anything else on the agenda of the Washington Regional. He continued: "All the achievements of the United States in the Middle East over the past 30 years, built on the basis of the Camp David Accords and the transfer of Egypt from country to country, loyal to the Union of the Soviets into an ally of the United States. If collapsed this basis, very much of America's position in the region will collapse as well as ". The report warned that the Treasury U.S. government does not have them now can help by Washington, Cairo during the current stage, and the military support is not a significant weight, given that the Ministry of Defense, "Pentagon" wants to freeze relations with the Egyptian army, he said But he pointed out that the administration could put something on the table may be more attractive to the Egyptians, which is free trade. Satloff, described the move as "the strongest arrow in the quiver of America, it is a sign of partnership, which is no doubt about where the development of relations in the long term." Satloff acknowledges that it will not be easy to negotiate a free trade agreement or approval of Congress to ensure it, but put to reach a free trade agreement with Egypt, the target of American policy to Egypt would send a strong message about the strong commitment of the United States before the election. Said Satloff that with the approaching elections in Egypt, the results ranging between "bad and worse," The forces of democracy to the extent appreciation will not achieve a majority, and the question will be what is the size of pluralism to be found there under the control of Islamic groups, and in this climate would be to the U.S. administration to lose a lot of interference with the Egyptians in a dialogue of mutual respect and candor that is both about the consequences on their relations with the United States and Western countries and international financial institutions if the leaders opted to rely on their political hostility to the United States and the West. He called Satloff President Barack Obama to go by himself to Cairo to deliver this message to Cairo, saying that this task is greater than the possibility of William Taylor, the veteran diplomat who has been entrusted to him and Hillary Clinton lead the "Office of the transition processes in the Middle East," a position developed by focusing on support for democracies in the countries of the Arab spring, Egypt, Tunisia and Libya.
Hey, so how is it going in Egypt? What are the prices for bread, rice? Is there any free food for destitute people?
Is it possible that the Arabs in these countries are simply too uneducated to establish a peaceable government by Demcoratic means, leaving a dictatorship as the only form of government that can keep peace?
Among all the many millions of people, there aren't a few hundred highly educated people? The literacy rate is well over 60% in Egypt. In parts of the US, the functional literacy rate is a lot lower, yet we still manage to have a semblance of democratic government. (And "Arab" has nothing to do with literacy.)
Were you trying to imply that Egypt's 60% literacy rate is comparable to the US's 99% literacy rate, or were you instead trying to compare apples and oranges by comapring Egypt's literacy rate with the US's "functional" literacy rate(which is still well above 60%)? Perhaps your implication was that a 40% difference in literacy rate is inconsequential... Setting literacy aside and dealing with other areas of education, such as ethics, civics, civil liberties, history, philosophy, etc, you could have a population with a literacy rate over 90 that is completely uneducated and unruly. Whatever your argument is, the facts remain. 1) The Islamists in Egypt clamoring for a dictatorship by the clergy and the destruction of Israel will be as difficult to manage as any insurgency. 2) The majority of the remainder of the people do not have enough education on these types of matters to form an educated opinion on the matter, and fight for true democracy. This has very little to do with literacy. The way I see it, that leaves you with the choices of dictatorship by the CLergy or dictatorship by someone who can keep peace by subjugating the Islamists. Let me appologize for my phrasing. I meant to say, "These Arab Countries" not "The Arabs in these countries". Wasn't trying to single out the Arabs in Egypt(the majority of the population) as the trouble makers, but rather point out that Egypt is not the only Arab country with these problems. I personally believe that 60-70% of the Muslim Arabs in Egypt want a secular Democracy, but their wants and needs will be stepped on by the 30% chanting death to Israel. The Islamist minority will obtain the silence of the majority by accusing them of being bad Muslims for speaking out against Sharia.
You see Rukbat, just because IsraeI was able to read my post(meaning he is literate), does not mean he was able to understand it. Perhaps you would categorize him as not being "Functionally" literate, but I suspect the problem has more to do with a low IQ and a basic lack of education in human rights. I'm going to explain it again to him using small words and concepts any 10th grader in the US would find simple, yet notice how these small words and concepts are lost on him no matter how many times I repeat them. IsraeI, I was making the point that the 70% of Egyptians who want peace shouldn't have their rights and wants trampled by the 30% who want death, destruction, and war, even if the uneducated 30% try and justify such a war by equating Israel to Nazi Germany. If anything, making such a comparison drives home the point of how poorly educated you and these people are. By the way, thank you IsraeI, for interjecting with a relevant example of exactly what I was talking abut.
Yea, you said this twice now, you don't have to repeat yourself. Do you think repeating yourself will make your boring essays any more interesting?
@Rukbat: Notice how IsraeI was unable to grasp these concepts after having them explained to him twice. He falls back to a grade school tactic of implying the information is boring because he is unable to understand it. It's a case study in how literacy does not necessarily end ignorance. If the 60% in Egypt that can read are as ignorant as IsraeI, I'd say they are screwed.
You have to consider his advance stages of Acute Reading Disorder.. It is tough for him to read and understand at the same time..
