Stranger things have happened in the past. Revolution from above.<br />Who is more at ease in the West than the Saudi elite? Iran & Syria are different story. The regimes have convinced themselves that democracy (even Turkish style)would be the end.<br />Saudis try to buy consent. At least they try.<br />I don't like their system but maybe many of their people do.Its more far-fetched to think things will never change. Those that assume that are in for unpleasant surprises.pirooznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-39814617553785536142011-06-22T22:31:03.477+02:002011-06-22T22:31:03.477+02:00saudis democratise? is that a joke? that's lik...saudis democratise? is that a joke? that's like asking lucifer to be good.<br />Imagine if Egypt was called Mubarakian republic... for starters if they do democratise, they will need to change the name of their "country".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-51559709649397362382011-06-22T19:03:36.791+02:002011-06-22T19:03:36.791+02:00@yqxo That is why I admire Erdogans stand.

The Syrian FM is bluffing, he is trying to take the heart out of the protesters. As if it was a game. They are doing what they are doing because they have no choice- slow death or quick death is not much of a choice. Iran,Syria,<br />and Saudi are going to be in total contradiction to Arabic Spring if they don't democratise.pirooznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-62956465613027059462011-06-22T12:29:24.356+02:002011-06-22T12:29:24.356+02:00@pirooz, that is the old obedient Arab strategy, b...@pirooz, that is the old obedient Arab strategy, be quiet and let the ruling minority to rule. Really stupid. Syria would stand no chance if Arab people, like Egypt and Arab league were to condemn them for their violence, condemning is just words. None is talking about military intervention, it's out of question Syria has credible army.<br /><br />Today the Foreign Minister of Syria, Mualem proudly said that: <i>All Arab countries support Syria and no exceptions.</i><br /><br />And stupidities like this: <i>the intl pressure will stop when they see that their plot has failed</i><br /><br />Follow <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/RulaAmin" rel="nofollow">@RulaAmin</a> about the speech FM gave.yqxohttp://twitter.com/yqxonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8003335.post-34591848135973777462011-06-22T05:09:33.375+02:002011-06-22T05:09:33.375+02:00Good stuff, Zeinobia.

Is it being inhibited by <i>old media</i> in Egypt? Some sort of solidarity Friday would be needed. <br /><br />It is necessary to wake the Arab league about the situation! It could condemn the violence if it sees the Arab <i>people</i> are against it, Arab league does nothing if not pressured by Arab people.yqxohttp://twitter.com/yqxonoreply@blogger.com
