Arabs don't do democracy. Islamists will take over and have one person, one vote, just once. Secular liberals will sink under the sand. Corruption is endemic in the Arab world, whatever the system. Tribal animosities and jihadist fanaticism will keep violence simmering. The meddling of naive Westerners only makes things worse. Look at Iraq and Afghanistan, proof that bossy benevolence will fail. Even now, with Qaddafi long dead, the doubters are asking questions, many of them reasonable ones. Isn't Egypt going wrong? Isn't Syria bound to be bloody and chaotic, whoever eventually prevails? And won't Libya be remembered as yet another wretchedly brief experiment in democracy? The Arabs must be given the chance to disprove these prejudices. Their spring was always going to be messy and patchy. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
