Is it truly democracy, which ignited the people protests in Egypt and Libya?

I have serious doubts that it is because democracy is a rather complex concept...far more than just wanting freedom from any process which is not realistic. I think there is a level of covert manipulation going on behind the scenes to incite these people to make demands. Once they have toppled the existing regime, which by the way may be a good thing, then there is no plan and no real people in place to provide an alternative form of government.

This provides an opportunity for those who have other ideas to step in and grab the reins much like what happened in the 80's in Iran. WB.

I suspect most revolutions are born from desperation; when there is little or no bread and even less prospect for your children, you're quite well motivated to try and change things. Freedom or any other movement that seems able to deliver improvement is going to get support because they promise to overthrow present corruption.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
