The greengrocer revolutionary

For Noam Chomsky's pessimism are just words, for the bitterness of our country around, Obama did not know which way to turn and was quickly released with wretched dictatorships built from the old America: Nixon, Kissinger, Reagan and Bush families. The third hypothesis says that the earthquake of Egypt could become an opportunity not to export weapons of democracy, but democracy announced in respect of that campaign: to expand to distant countries the same rights as U.S.

citizens. Dignity and freedom to work in a free society. I steal the title essay of Ted C. Fishman is a planet for Old Men (New World): while the young Arab street trying to dream as we dream, we need at least a question mark. Did something happen that puts into question the eternal life curled interests of the oligarchies that the countries of the seasoned democracies defend ignoring peoples considered extras in the theater of our prosperity.

Not enough to turn the page in the fiction that something has happened in the bottom of the Mediterranean. The shoulder of the boys in Cairo, armed only with the Internet and away from the conspiracies of fundamentalism, calls into question the future of all: their and our own. In a globalized liberalism preached by the adventure is now collecting.

Moving from one continent to another in the blink of a click. Aging violence preached by Bin Laden, the jackals of despair. Turn the guards in uniform provisional repressors: the reason deletes them. Challenge the dogmas tested with the momentum of those who want to comply with the rules by all and with the claim that new generations are not stifled by the games of Wall Street.

Otherwise come and are coming. Land in the country's Minister Frattini which recommended the retention of Mubarak and declared friendship with Ben Ali, a protector of peace hairy necessary economies of the former First World disaster. But the wishes of the old make you smile the next generation.

There is always a fly that changed history. An unnamed street vendor sets himself on fire in Tunisia: a protest against the corrupt police who seized the four apples. It is the fire that lights the Arab world, Mubarak three weeks ago after packing. How different the past. On January 16, 1969 Jan Palach is soaked in gasoline, with the lighter in Prague choose to die crushed by Russian tanks.

Two words in his diary: "Because our people are on the verge of despair and resignation, we decided to express our protest to stir the conscience." Remember the example of Buddhist monks in Saigon, human torches to fight the dictatorship in Vietnam "protected" from America's Nixon. But the hope of Palach must wait twenty years to the hope of street Tunisian Just a few days.

The difference is the lightning web's new frontier that has allowed Obama to reach every boy and sit in the White House. The boys of Cairo gave words that seem second-hand: "We must accept the decisions of the people and their choice in elections that guarantee transparent." The age of a democracy for all real or is it a childhood dream that diplomacy is the livery of the slice to normalize? Morocco, Jordan, Syria, Yemen and Libya without a voice, waiting list, but it's a wait that can upset the oil monarchies of the other side of the Mediterranean: the protagonists are not always very old age but because of the servility which contains the nobles of the province kneeling to handover disdainful.

The challenge of Obama starts from here. , February 15, 2011
