The Times They Are A-Changin’…
Following similar earlier events in Tunisia, Egypt’s “leader” Hosni Mubarak or as he prefers to be called “Ho-Mu”, is now dealing with the ending of his looong-running presidency.
& while this brings joy to the people there, it’s worrying the West.
Decades before the War On Terror began, the West already gave money to made deals with several Middle East leaders to gain their favour.
Should these dictators start to fall away, those deals will fall away with them.
So naturally, Western leaders are beginning to wonder what this will mean for global jihad & what it’ll mean for the War On Terror.
Just a few years ago, it was revealed that both France & the UK, in the form of François Mitterand & Margaret Thatcher, were totally opposed to the reunification of East & West Germany.
They actually had the belief & thus the fear that this newly united Germany would lead to a new Hitler type & in turn to World War III.
Though instead of that major conflict, we got to see huge social & political changes throughout the whole of Eastern Europe which eventually lead up to the end of the Iron Curtain, with no Warsaw Pact & even no Soviet Union.
Since then & especially since September 11th 2001, Western countries have patted themselves on their collective backs for being free & democratic, so why can’t they be happy for the citizens of the Middle East as they strive for the same goal ?
Doesn’t this beat adding yet another trillion or 2 to the deficit ??
Isn’t it better than yet another 100 deaths of the men & women who serve in the armed forces ???
Now that the citizens of the Middle East have shown the world they can mass protest against more than just the infidels of the West, how about giving them the benefit of the doubt ?
Surely, if they’re willing to brave their own armies to get rid of their corrupt leaders, they’re willing to go against the true evil rotting away at the very core of their daily lives… Muslim terrorists ?
Will those who practise Islam by way of jihad like al-Qaeda finally get the wrath they deserve from the good people of the Middle East ?
Meanwhile, with rumblings in Afghanistan, Yemen, Jordan & Saudi Arabia, I can’t help wonder which evil dictator is next…
Could Libya’s own Uncle Mo be under threat ?
