Its very interesting to see the events in Arab word. No one would have imagined that, such a time would come and Arab leaders would be defending themselves against their own people. This is the new world that we have been waiting.
Col. Muammar Qaddafi, the strong man of Libya is feeling the heat of the people. The power of the people is very strong and no army in the world can conquer it. The first ruler to know this was Napoleon the great when he attacked Russia. The people decided to clear any foods and shelter on the way and when Napoleon Army came calling, the snow was so heavy and with no shelter and food, it was impossible to go ahead and the Russian army was able to push them away back and won the battle.
In Africa, the continent that has seen all type of greedy leaders,South Africa saw the power of people back in late 70s and early 80s, the power of the people was demonstrated by students who made it so difficulty for Pieter Botha to rule. The situation escalated and the world came calling for the release of Nelson Mandela.
The African American revolution, M/S Rose Park Junior, this great Africa/American lady showed what the power of the people can do, by refusing to give her seat to a white man made the black community to came to together and boycott the buses, the bus boycott started the black revolution. After this show of power by the black community, the politics of USA has never been the same and will never be the same.
The current President of USA, Barak Obama Hussein is a beneficially of the power of the people who saw it unfair for the former President George W Bush putting the country youth(read solders), on line of death in Iraq, Afghanistan among others countries. The power of the people has forced the world super power country to cease the wars and pull out its solders from those countries.
In Philippine during the reign of President Ferdinanda Marcos, when he ruled the country with an iron hand and made 80% of the population beggars, the Bishop of manila cathedral told his congregation enough is enough and the power of people should be used, the people staged a sit in at the capitals main park and all airport paralyzing the economy. Although Ferdinand Marcus used his military who killed many people but in the end, the people power of the people won and the republic of Philippine had a new dawn.
Over the years the Arab world has been so stiff with political leaders brain washing their people by using the Israel/Arab conflict.By claiming they (leaders) will make sure that Israel is wiped out of world map. Many Arab leader became darling of there countries by showing (verbal claims), how they will deal with Israel, but after almost half century since the republic of Israel was born, it's is still there and there is no way it will ever be wiped out from world map.
Am so pleased that most of young Arabs have realized that Israel in not there main enemy, but their selfish leaders who have enriched themselves while majority of them live very miserable lives. My condoleses goes to that young graduate from Tunisia who burnt himself after the police harassment's, his act made the power of the people to rise within and Ben Ali had to freed the country.
Arab youth should see the future of their countries in a better way, good education, more employments, good health care, good road network, good shelter etc. and not thinking how to fight Israel. Israel has its own light for existence as well as Palestine and all her neighbours, there are better ways of dealing with this issue rather than wars and out bust that Arab leaders have been using over the last four decades.
I hope this wind of change will be for better living standard for all and as a caution to greedy leaders of today and tomorrow,we are watching and we have the power within and around us.
Lets all pray that we leaders of goodwill should arise from the shadow of themselves so that we can recorgonize them. The Solomons and Anwar Sadat of tomorrow, wake up and take up your positions.
Adios.
