The Arab Spring

Long time ago, people in the Arab World wanted to have more freedom, they knew that their regimes were killing all the opportunities to express themselves and act freely.

Recently some Arabs achieved that (From their perspective), however, the question now is: Were they ready for this freedom? Can they deal with the post-revolution "messy" situation?

I believe that someone who was raised up to obey and follow can't simply act free without any restrictions unless someone else can guide her/him. In addition, as these countries have no leaders now , many assume that they can fill this gap and lead the country, again the people are not ready to select their leaders as they don't have a clear and common vision for their country.

The funny part of this story is position of the previous regimes beneficiaries (The foreign countries), they have to take a difficult decisions now; they either have to act according to their ethical concepts (as they say) and help these people and this will definitely will not benefit them anymore or they have to think of their benefits and make the situation worse. I do believe that they will take the second choice and try to increase the instability in the region and wait for the best chance to benefit again but not to wait too much as they are facing a deep rescission and sloppy economies.

What I suggest is to wait and see, I wrote this article to document my thoughts, I don't like politics but I want to see how these vampires will act.

Again, can we call that freedom ?
