☆ENGLISH ONLY☆コミュのRevolution of Egypt

The President of Egypt has resigned by popular demand.
Egypt has been the strongest nation in the Arabian world.
I was really surprised, because it was a kind of
the Bloodless Revolution.

The true cause is the decline of the USA in this area.
The army of Egypt now has the full powers, but
this situation is unstable. People want civilian control.
It was good that the army didn't attack people.

The problem is the next political situation.
If the radical party takes the political power,
Israel will guard against the Arabian nations.
Israel is like a small island in the sea of the Arabian
world.

Can the USA support Israel from now on?
Anyway confusion of Egypt will continue, and
it means the oil crisis.
Israel may face the attack of the Arabian nations.

Egypt has the Suez Canal, and so this confusion
will affect the world economy. The USA and European
nations expect the moderate political power
(a pro-American group), but it is the most important
factor how people of Egypt think about the USA.

I was really surprised there's someone who considers the event to be "bloodless"
when some citizens actually died.

even if the number is small, any sacrifice should not be ignored

TV news said,“The Internet (Facebook) raised
the Revolution of Egypt. The Internet is now the strong
weapon against an autocrat.”

I watched the modern French Revolution this time.
Of course freedom of information is the strong weapon,
but the uprising needs a trigger at an autocrat,
and people must follow and act.

This process is not so easy. What can provoke people?
They are poverty and oppression by autocracy.
Will this revolution come up in China?
Maybe Chinese Government fears the event of Egypt.

Now the army has the political power in Egypt.
The army is the most important factor in autocratic
nations. If the army kills the people,
it is the suicide of the army.

I think that the 21st Century is that of China, but it may
be the century of democracy. Politics of Japan is now
confused, and Japanese must search for new democracy
from now on.

To be clear and realistic we must say, important is what's in the interest of nations. Never before there was a criticism of Mubarak in western media. With the uprising, they suddenly turn him into a despot.

Media manipulates and decide what is the reality for people. Those who control media, can also control people. There are things happening daily which people aren't aware of, since media doesn't tell or tell something different.

"If social media was all we needed for democracy, why did we invade Iraq? Why didn't we just 'poke' them?" - John Stewart

Modern dominoes?

4> Yeah...but people still know much of the truth when they have access to multiple media sources. Look at the whole Berlusconi affair: the media had favored him for some strange reason (perhaps due to his personal ownership?), yet the citizens there seem to have an idea of what's really going on. Agreed, a single media mouth is "dangerous" for the concept of free information; with the internet and availability of a multitude of news sources, it's still relatively easy for people to find out what is happening wherever. ultimately i would place the onus more on citizens to take the initiative in searching out stories of interest.

5> Then again...look at Fox News in the States, and how much of the population buys into their tales, bias, and sensationalism--all this in a country that does have free access to many forms of and outlets for media.

3> Yes, Facebook just has become the means of this democratic movement in Middle East. But was that a right usage for Facebook? A man who originally posted a comment for gathering at a square in Cairo was on a TV program and he was really sorry for the first three victims eventually. Is there any announcement from Facebook?

7>
Why should Facebook apologize for what a handful of its users have done? If Facebook the company had caused the revolution, perhapsmore could be said. But it's almost like a pencilmaker apologize because someone wrote something that inspired revolt at one place or a crime at another.

If a nation is being oppressed and the citizens have no real way to get their plea heard or story told, of course any method Used to accomplish this is correct. Twitter, Face Book, You Tube ! My space etc... Why not? There is no Revolution rule book!

I do not deny Facebook as a means of democratization. It has already gained millions of users and could have successfully penetrated into our socieal infrastructure. So it has social responsibility to express its own opinion or anouncement regarding status quo in Egypt. Facebook is not a group of children but a firm of responsible matured adults.
