The Arab Spring
One could say we have been waiting for this for years in the Middle East but the question is have we?
Yes, the youth want change. They are more educated – probably lived abroad. But killing, death and the crushing of dissent isn’t what the people want.
Is there no other way to achieve some form of democracy?
I ask my self these questions everyday. Working as a journalist in Lebanon – with the region in chaos around me – I think to myself “This isn’t going anywhere”…
At the end we’ll be in the same situation we were in before it started. Look at Egypt.
This is the first time people have gathered together and united in the Middle East. Religion is ususally the driving force behind the split. But it’s not enough.
How much more blood needs to be spilt?
