What has overtaken the Eastern bloc in 1989, is deferred at last in the Arab world. "Regime Change" is announced, but not in the sense of former U.S. President George W. Bush in the form of a military assault, but through elections and democratic Protest of the incapacitated and harassed citizens. The stone came in a seemingly "stable" Western-oriented Arab country rolling: Tunisia. The spark seems to 'jumping. Protest demonstrations in Egypt and Yemen seem to announce the end of the rule of Arab despots, although this will not be easy for the people. The "Wind of Change" should ultimately pay off the fundamentalist regime of the sides of the story: Saudi Arabia. Whether this will permit the U.S. empire, but may be doubted. The so-called Western security in the form of "Oilism" is at stake, democratic reforms or not. A dictatorship is the U.S. empire always emerged from rather than a free and democratic elections, Islamic movements, as was the case in the case of the electoral victory of Hamas in Palestine. Within a year, had the Palestinian "president" Mahmoud Abbas against the coup by the majority of the people democratically elected government took office at the behest of the U.S. and Israel and set up a two authorizing the governor in the person of Salman Fayyad.
And what does the American Empire or the EU "superpower" to the difficulties of their despotic charges in the region "Greater Middle East"? In Tunisia, they were speechless. In Egypt, we are hurried from the American Pharaoh suddenly demand the observance of democratic rules and reforms, this one had 30 years. The U.S. State Department spokesman PJ Crowley called the Arab television station Al-Jazeera Egypt as an "ally, friend and partner" of the United States and as a "stabilizing force in the region." He went so far as to say that the Mubarak regime is "at anchor of stability in the Middle East." As formerly Jimmy Carter, the Shah's regime shortly before its collapse as an "island of stability" praised. Was in fact the Mubarak dictatorship, like all dictatorships, for a time apparently an "anchor of stability" and a willing ally the American-Israeli alliance against the interests of the Palestinian and Egyptian people.
Hillary Clinton appealed to the protesters, "restraint" in his looks and to take from violence. It is nowhere recorded that she had the demonstrators in Iran and called for violence in their protests, as they demonstrated against the election rigging. For decades, no one was interested in Washington for democratic reform in the Arab world. Two days after the outbreak of the demonstrations in Egypt in the comments of U.S. President Obama Clinton and U.S. Secretary of State no longer a unanimous Mubarak's support for the speech. It seems that one thinks of the day after, and without saying it, to Mohammed el-Baradei, his release from house arrest, calling for the U.S. officials have yet. Maybe Obama and Clinton learn from former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice at least something that is actually in a speech at the American University of Cairo following has said: "For sixty years, my country, the United States, pursued stability at the expense of democracy in this region, neither here in the Middle East, and we achieved. Now, we are taking a different course. We are supporting the democratic aspirations of all people. "This rhetoric but no action followed to this day. Thus the democratic Expectations of the Palestinians in 2006 immediately smothered by the American-Israeli alliance in the bud.
The dilemmas of the U.S. empire in the Middle East are that democratic movements in this region have an Islamic thrust the United States and is the fetish of "political stability" of democratic governance in its client states. This of course includes the suppression of self-determination of the Egyptian and the Palestinian people with a. The U.S. pays Egypt a year about 1, 5 billion U.S. dollars because the country is an ally of Israel and also in the oppression of the Palestinians and involved the demonization of Islam in Egypt and Palestine Beweghung active. There is also support for the war on terrorism "on the part of Egypt and the Yemen, Jordan's Gambling-Kings and the Saudi Arabian fundamentalist regime, all" allies "of the U.S. empire.
"political stability" enjoys in the minds of U.S. political elite top priority of any despot, autocrat or dictator in the "western interests" guaranteed. A country that is itself derived from an anti-colonial revolt, the guardians of the status quo, ie the conservation of the most reactionary regime of the World has become, and this all in the name of "political stability" and "Western interests". If ever an American government would have been true democracy, they would always have to be at the forefront of democratic movements that happened in the case of Germany and Japan. But in the Near and Middle East, the opposite is the case, coups d'etat have been initiated worldwide against democratically elected governments in Iran, Chile, to many banana republics in Central and South America, or most recently in Palestine, as with US- -Israeli-Palestinian support a democratic government elected from the Office has been the coup. But the U.S. Empire was also not too bad, Islamic fundamentalists as a "resistance groups" feed up as it went against the Soviet Union, such as al-Qaida. Today drums again the most reactionary neo-conservative circles in the U.S. for to delete the group "People's Mujahideen" from the "terrorist list" of the U.S. empire in order to exploit against the democratically elected government of Iran.
If the U.S. had ever been interested in the democratization of the Arab world, not only in the exploitation of its resources and the dominance of the region, they had long been a protective hand over the fundamentalist regime across the region, Saudi Arabia to withdraw must. You would not create together with the Saudis and Pakistani intelligence to al-Qaida, they now account for around a phantom and fight to stabilize their geopolitical interests in the region. And the so-called willing accomplices countries in Europe do not see this? They still think that they would be fighting for democracy, women's rights, good governance and other political phrases. This western soldiers die in Afghanistan for a corrupt regime that is not worthy to be kept a day longer in power.
The biggest problem the U.S. empire and its Western supporters but their double standards. Obsessed with the idea of "spreading democracy" they make no difference in their choice of "Bedfellows" (bed-fellows). This was once the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, the Shah of Iran, Saddam Hussein, who later mutated into the "Hitler", Osama bin Laden and many others even today are America's best friends, the dictators in Central Asia and in parts of the Arab world, all of sympathetic to the Israeli occupation in Palestine behave. The unconditional support of Israeli repression seems long the Achilles heel of the U.S. Empire and its western supporters to be. It is increasingly clear that the Israeli occupation regime can be maintained only by the military and financial support of the West. And here we come full circle: If the U.S. empire is not at the forefront of the democracy and freedom of movement is, and this in particular with regard to the freedom of Palestine, it will lose in the long term more credibility, and not just politically but also morally and financially. set alone, only the "Alabtross like ally, Israel" is no longer enough.
