It’s here in Egypt. There’s lot of hot bubbles on the streets right now. Millions of them are exercising their rights as individual clamoring the ends of 30 year Mubarak’s dictatorship. Advancing social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and internet have been clamp down to stifle the movement. The collapse of Soviet Union does not need Facebook or Twitter to be activated. Not easy, government controlling millions of individual which obviously more unique and smarter. Government loses his grip and this has become the most fear moment with as it stated by Austrian economist Murray Rothbard. Democracy and freedom, the cores of making great country once again being hijacked, particularly I must speak my concern over an uprising of Islamic groups; Muslim Brotherhood Mission and its allies.
And at the same time, following by no wisdom, Obama’s speech since the movement's inception, apparently might alluding empower anti democratic forces group. From what I observe, Obama responded several times from the White House with nothing substance. Mubarak at the other hand, addressing his speech in desperately soothing protesters while promise for power transition until September election. It is not simply of commenting the absolute victory of Egyptians alone, in my opinion, Israel's stakes living side by side within the most brutal regime ever in history of mankind. What happen to Israel and its peace talk? Unfortunately, nobody bother about the little tiny sovereign only democratic country. Don’t they remember the war ends because of Egypt – Israel agreement in 1979? Or they going to scrapped it?
There is no doubt that peoples get excited watching all these progress especially Malaysians. Somehow, we are so determined to emulate what Egyptians does to remove BN’s government from its mandate right away. Socialists perhaps views the rising differently as ‘peoples’, but beyond conventional observation, I think a person, an individual plays much important role regardless majority or minority camps, as Hayek’s famously wrote on individualism and economic order analysis the society to a situation is consisting of several independent persons. Hence, according to him “re1atíonship between actions and since the actions of one person must necessarily take place successively in time” It plainly tells us a person as individual is agent for purposeful action. I personally believe liberty is much closely connected with person or individual. I feel free of coercion from all sources.
Like democracy fans extolling often; Tyrant falls, supplanted by vibrant democratic government and its sort of form in cycles? Symbolically, are they going blaming United States of America for intervenes their country to some extent the whole process as it naturally inevitable? They hates America so much not because of freedom which Egyptians also seeking for, but it's because of America say one thing and do another. They miss out some very points over there. If Mubarak steps down, I’m afraid Muslim Brotherhood Mission would seize its power in government. They therefore finally govern alongside their brothers and sisters. Who are their brothers and sisters? Hamas rules in Palestine, Hezbollah rules in Southern Lebanon. Al Qaeda? Subsequently, Middle East is anticipating major war with democracy and freedom as I’m pretty sure. Iranian rapidly dominates the agendas of the region when these whole event develops since Tunisia's revolution and I believe more is coming - has merely reminiscence the triumph of Iranian Revolution in 1979. Now I’m thinking that oldest Islamic movement in the region being motivated by the current uprising. Excellent opportunity to grab power, don’t you think? In addition, an estimated three dozen Islamist militants reportedly escaped from an Egyptian prison on Sunday amid the chaos that has enveloped the country.
A recent conversation with British historian Bernard Lewis, he said it [Egypt revolt] is a popular revolt rather than democratic revolt. It is mainly due to economic, too bad. This has brought me to second point, economic turmoil. In Egypt, poverty is very real to understand with 85 million lives for $2 per day. Corruption and private property also very badly addressed by the government. So, the other reasons on why the Egyptians revolt mainly because of outmoded economy and discouraging reality especially by the young. The government must pursue economic freedom and its lasting progress would not benefit small interest, in fact at large.
