| Mr Khan said: Change often comes all at once. While i would agree that your assessment is realistic, ultimately once societies are ripe for progressive revolution, it will occur successfully and transformatively. |
I'd love it if someone could point me to any indication that that's going to happen. I have never, ever read an attitude survey from an Islamic country that has given me so much as a glimmer of hope that it will. While everyone was wetting themselves over the inspiring people power of the Egyptian revolution, I couldn't shake the feeling that the whole thing boiled down to the fact that these people's lives sucked so they were blaming Mubarak and running him out on a rail. He's a bad dude, to be sure, but such a revolution as you're talking about surely has to begin with personal responsibility and ra recognition of why what failed, failed.
Mubarak didn't fuck over Egypt half as much as backwards thinking and a billion and one bizarre pathologies did.The same can be said for so many other countries. If you see a Jew under every rock and subscribe to such nonsense as "Pepsi = Pay Every Penny, Save Israel", you're probably not going to get anywhere good in life and frankly, you don't deserve to.
