[/caption]As some people as saying regarding the ousting of Mubarak in Egypt : “the more things change, the more they stay the same”. The military has been in power for the last 30 years, and Mubarak has simply been the figurehead for that military. Will it really make any difference if there is a new face on the same old regime? Will there really be free and open, democratic elections in that country? Will the current regime really allow themselves to be voted out…assuming that a true government by the people for the people, like our system, can actually survive and thrive in the middle east?
Maybe any change is good. Maybe any change is an opportunity for democracy to flourish. Either way, one thing is true, if it weren’t for the Internet giving voice to the protesters, none of this change could have happened. The internet will probably be the biggest weapon against tyranny the world will ever know.
