The general narrative on this is the Mubarak government was overthrown because the people stood up and demanded it. As such, they are commended in the media for their "bravery" and other forms of flattery. <br /><br />Essentially the media was and is giddy as school girls experiencing their first crush towards the people who supposedly overthrew the Mubarak government as well those participating in the electoral process assuming they are anti-American enough.<br /><br />What they either don't or won't acknowledge is it was not the bravery of the people or any thing such as that led to Mubarak's downfall. In actuality, Mubarak's fate was sealed the moment the military chose to stand down in the face of the protests. Had they wished to do so they could have easily crushed the protests. <br /><br />Once the military chose to stand down, there was really nothing we or any one else could have done to alter the process. In order to formulate correct policies, it is vitally important that we understand what happened, how it happened, and why it happened. <br /><br />If the governments of the US and its "allies" hold to the narrative on this put forth by the media, then we may be in real trouble. Hopefully they are smarter than that.<br /><br />Finally, we need to understand it is not important so much that people vote but the important thing is how they vote. If people are going to vote in ways that are hostile to our interests, then we likely should act in ways to prevent them from voting or at the very least we likely should not actively encourage them to vote, as we seem to do in places like Egypt, Iraq, and elsewhere.B.Posternoreply@blogger.com
