Even for a skeptic like me it was really heart warming to see the young people revolting in Tahkrir square and send Mobark home.
If you read my previous post you will know why i'm skeptic about democracy in the Arab world.
The result of this revolt will probably be a more radical Islamic rule but even though the people in Tahkrir square deserve some applause for what they done and for their sacrifice.
President Obama support looks great in American eyes but most Arab leaders see now the US as someone who can’t be trusted, taking sides in internal matters is always a bad idea and the US learnt nothing the past 60 years.
Obama did bet on the right horse, he also did well in Iran where he choose to go easy on ahmedinijad (the atomic bomb is a most democratic tool and hence no democracy is needed in Iran).
As I see things a "spring of nations" in the Arab world is not possible as long as the Iranian regime stands, if the aittolas shall fall there is a slight possibility for secular democracies to rise in the Arab world.
