As for Egypt -- Isn't the question a little late? Mubarak is gone, out of Cairo, the military is in control -- the only question is what is going to happen next. I'm going to guess that A) Someone in the military's an evil monster and is going to cause problems or B) Something good might happen.
No the question isn't alittle late, Mubarak is said to be gone but the army doesn't want to judge him neither they want to judge his fellow friends that killed the protesters. It feels like the army had an arrangement with Mubarak... Something is happening but unfortunately we don't know what... We are these days making some revolutions telling that we want Mubarak and all his evil friends DEAD!
'Ppl dying + bad govt + protests + but we have no idea what is going on'
Something is happening but unfortunately we don't know what... We are these days making some revolutions telling that we want Mubarak and all his evil friends DEAD!

What's the point of that? I don't mean to sound as if I'm intruding on your political ideology but if the Army were to have struck a deal with Mubarak to keep him alive -- I think those who died would rather have the Egyptian people working on a new government they could admire instead of causing more political strife by starting an endless quest to kill their old president. I'm not saying Mubarak and his buddies don't need to eat their share of justice, but I just hope that Egyptians don't rebel against their own army just to see that justice done.
We want to take our rights and the rights of the people that died protecting Egypt! If we don't punish Mubarak and let him live the next president will be the same, cuz he knows that in the end he wont be judged!
It's easier for us outside of Egypt to have that opinion, because we weren't directly involved or affected by it, elsh was.
I don't know, this sounds like dangerous logic. People do believe in this and that's why many people in countries like Norway or Switzerland think that their neutrality gives them the permission to be the judges of the world. But in reality they are subject to Media bias, propaganda and lies about those subjects. That means they are also involved but they don't know it.
Yeah they get involved through medias portrayal and obviously everyone is entitled to an opinion and our humanity makes us judge, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's correct.

I completely understand, the thought occurred to me even as I wrote it. Yet my point was, with all logic in place, it can also easily be argued that being an Egyptian citizen who has seen this mess is also bias. Revenge can cloud one's thoughts. Honestly, imagine an Egyptian protest against the Army. [An Army that currently, has no President to check itself]. I'm not saying it isn't wrong to see justice done, I was just pointing out that when stuff like this happens, it is easy for one's judgement to think more about revenge rather than the reason as to why the revolution started.
The only good example I know to give is Pakistan's. Though I was never a resident of the country I've come to know a good deal of its history. I've noticed how as time passed within the country, and big wars in quick succession came through, the military grew more and more in power, as the people fought a war for their own defense yet ended up changing the entire governmental atmosphere by flooding it with army officials instead of actual public service workers. Now, it is easy to see why so much money in the country goes towards the army in the country and why such a small amount goes towards things like public health and education.
But in reality they are subject to Media bias, propaganda and lies about those subjects.
It is not like every single character uploaded towards the web is uniformly biased as evil propoganda. There is reliable information out there, and biased as all information is.
but it doesn't necessarily mean it's correct.
I don't think there is such a thing as being 'correct' in things like geopolitics.

Yea but if a certain media station wants to give you a certain opinion, they are very likely to succeed. That'

This is very true, my little brain didn't consider it Although i'm sure there's still people in the country (As with every) sitting there thinking "I don't give a F"
he average person listens only to one media, 2 tops.
True, the average household will watch one station of news, which children then grow to watch. You might get someone flicking between two or checking online but i know in my case we watch the same news station every night and get the same newspapers daily.
