Typical Politics, Oh People Want to be Free? Lets Check With their Leader

What world do we live in if nearly an entire country has to spill violently into the streets to demand to be heard? What kind of government systems are continuously allowed to thrive and make agreements with other supposedly freedom thumping democratic pumping power machines, when their own people are mere cattle in their vast kingdoms. The middle east is finally turning the tide of old regime dominance, and oppressive tyranny and saying screw this! Shoot me if you must but you will at least hear me roar. Whenever a government has to turn against its own people its far overstepped its bounds, authority and apparently its welcome among its constituents. Anytime anyone rules for 30years its time for a review. Apparently Mubarek has decided he is the judge, jury and king of all kings and can make the best decisions for Egypt despite the deplorable declining conditions of his nation. All this said, how is this possible. Tienanmen Square was not all that long ago and  China still hasn't lived that down. Attempting to suppress the voices of a suffering people only results in revolution as history has proven time and time again. Yet, we continue to live in a country (those of us in the United States) that sing freedom songs, celebrates freedom holidays, invades other countries in  the name of democracy yet stands idly nervously hoping President Mubarek makes the "right" decision. Other supposedly democratic governments whisper similar hopes, while those governments just as corrupt as Egypt's (Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, to name a few) stand absolutely silent praying the people don't get their way and encourage similar revolutions in their own countries. Human beings with any intelligence better wake up and take a look around. Egypt is but one country where human rights were traded for capital and power and many will have to die to call in that trade.
