A New Arab Street in Post-Islamist Times
Asef Bayat, Foreign Policy: "The popular uprising in Tunisia has surprised many - Western observers, the Arab elites, and even those who have generated this remarkable episode. The surprise seems justified. How could one imagine that a campaign of ordinary Tunisians in just over one month would topple a dictator who presided over a police state for 23 years? This is a region where the life expectancy of 'presidencies' match only the 'eternal' rule of its sheiks, kings, and Ayatollahs who bank on oil and political rent (western protection) to hang on to their power and subjugate their people."

Egypt: Battle of the narratives
Antiwar.com Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo
02/02/11
The Egyptian events seem, on the face of it, fairly straightforward: a tyrant in office for 30 years, propped up by fulsome US support and a very efficient secret police apparatus, faces a full-scale revolution by his brutalized subjects, who are -- finally! -- enraged-beyond-endurance and just can?t take it anymore. A million people in the streets of Cairo are telling us this story, and one would think the wise thing to do would be to take their word for it. But that?s hardly sufficient for some US commentators, who have their own agendas -- and their own narratives to sell...

Why not freedom of all persons everywhere now?
LewRockwell.Com
by Michael S. Rozeff
02/02/11
Why don?t Egyptians seize the moment and create freedom for themselves -- their Persons -- now? By freedom for Persons, I don?t mean democracy or a so-called free society or a society under some government, be it democratic or democratic-socialist or theocratic or autocratic or whatever. I don?t mean elections, coalitions, parties, votes, leaders, taxes, and so on. I mean freedom of each and every person. And I do not mean to single out Egyptians. I raise the same question for Americans...

American hypocrisy in the Middle East
CounterPunch
by Paul Craig Roberts
02/01/11
The hypocrisy of the US government is yet again demonstrated in full bore force. The US government invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, laid waste to much of the countries including entire villages and towns, and massacred untold numbers of civilians in order 'to bring democracy' to Iraq and Afghanistan. Now after days of Egyptians in the streets demanding 'Mubarak must go,' the US government remains aligned with its puppet Egyptian ruler, even suggesting that Mubarak, after running a police state for three decades, is the appropriate person to implement democracy in Egypt...

If the world has a heart, it beats now for Egypt. Not of course, the Egypt of President Hosni Mubarak -- of the rigged elections, the censored press, the axed Internet, the black-clad security police and the tanks and the torture chambers -- but the Egypt of the intrepid ordinary citizens who, almost entirely unarmed, with little more than their physical presence in the streets and their prayers, are defying this whole apparatus of intimidation and violence in the name of justice and freedom...

2011 Will be the first 'summer of hell' in a growing series. The economic harpies of the U.S. and much of the world economy have not been slain. To the contrary the political leaders have only fed them, expanded their numbers, and pretend they don't exist. The U.S. is not immune to the same events transpiring overseas. In the end it will suffer economic consequences as it has never experienced before -- worse than the 1970s stagflation or the great depression...

For the United States and other Western countries, the popular uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt (which threaten to spread to other countries, including Yemen and Algeria) are something of a nightmare. Just as the authorities in these countries are struggling ? and failing ? to cope with popular uprisings, so too the United States and other Western countries are rudderless when faced with an undefined enemy ? and make no mistake about it, the people of foreign countries are the enemy when their revolts against dictatorship threaten Western interests...

What to do with Egypt
The Partial Observer
by James Leroy Wilson
02/01/11
Does the U.S. have an interest in taking sides between a brutal but secular and pro-U.S. dictatorship, and a potential Islamic democracy? Choosing the first may be short-sighted; choosing the second, based on an idealistic faith in Democracy, could be equally bad. The only option is to pull out of Egypt altogether...

Tunisia and Egypt: Why Now?
By Lawrence Davidson
For a very long time now the U.S. has put its money on the dictators. Washington has bought both them and their armies so as to have the leverage to economically exploit their countries and dictate their foreign policies. We officially call this arrangement "stability."
