Killing dittatorinon need!

In Egypt and Tunisia have dropped two despots, others are reeling in the Arab world. It 's a good news. It is incredible that they were unarmed demonstrators to win against the troops of criminal dictators. Hard not to go back to the evaporator with the memory of the Russian Empire. There was great turmoil in East Germany and a big shot of the scheme, a bit 'careless, he began to extol the freedom of citizens on TV and said East ambiguous statement that could mean that one could cross the Berlin Wall .

That sentence was enough to boil the fantasies and thousands of people are catapulted to see if it was true that one could cross the wall. It was not true true, but all that mass of people did take exaltation. Then a boy climbed up on the wall. The guards had orders to shoot immediately.

But that evening there was much confusion. The protesters shouted that television announced that the passages were open. The guard did not shoot that was supposed to shoot. He called his supervisor by radio instead. And what would have happened just as he was ordered to shoot hundreds of times for decades.

Instead he shook the top and called their supervisor. Then on the wall were dozens of young men and others were climbing. When the highest official in a position that he knew there were hundreds of kids who were climbing on the wall, did not feel in order to open fire and phoned the minister.

And when the minister finally answered the phone there were tens of thousands of people were jumping back and forth from the wall and some were even demolishing parts, and there were hundreds of thousands of people on the streets, running toward the wall with hand hammers, chisels and pickaxes.

And there was nothing left to do. Within a few days throughout the Soviet empire evaporated. In Egypt and Tunisia did not go so well, there have been deaths of hundreds. But, incredibly, the face of violence of dictators no one has responded to the fire even if in Cairo to get a gun is not really difficult.

If that had happened, the dead would become thousands and probably Mubarak would stay in power using a bath of blood to terrorize the moderates. But it did not happen ... The final blow to the Egyptian regime has not given the force of arms, has given Ghonim Wael, director of Google, that after 10 days in jail bursts into tears on live TV, resting her head on the table in memory of the horrors he suffered in prison and seen the secret police.

He burst into tears, then has run up and left the transmission. And millions, including those who until then had remained to watch, said: "This is too much, I can not bear." And the crowd that fell in the street has overwhelmed the levees of the dictatorship. These stories make me think that these riots were now inevitable.

It 's like, to a certain level of cultural development, a people can no longer tolerate the dictatorship. The genial www. Gapminder. org offers the possibility to compare the evolution of the world, choosing from dozens of statistical indicators. And you can see, first, that improve the living conditions of mankind in a constant and conspicuous.

If we set the chart on child mortality and number of children per woman get a fascinating point of view. First, we observe that these two indicators are able to manifest a range of cultural and economic changes that are fundamental to the well-being. The number of children per woman is an indicator of the level of women's emancipation.

The number of children who die before five years tells us how the people gave importance to health and lives of newborns. There is a wall that so far the statistics have not been able to overcome dictatorships. Evaporate when it falls below 3 children per woman in 1000 and 20 children died before their fifth birthday.

And the closer you get to this line even more dictators collapse. The Russian Empire fell when he reached exactly the dividing line of the 20 child deaths. Racial segregation in the U.S. and South Africa was broken when the number of children per woman was close to 3. If so, drop in the coming years we will see the majority of schemes still surviving in the world.

China, Iran, Syria, Algeria are almost ripe ... (From this it follows that the struggle for cultural and economic growth is a priority for the progress and crucial to the political choices of the people.)
