There is much hue and cry about the democracy in the Middle East. The opposition parties are being supported and armed by the vested interests. The people are being instigated to run riots against the governments. They are being exploited to break the shackles of years old slavery. Their eyes are being filled with dreams of prosperity and welfare after the end of the present wicked governments. They are being upbraided to raise weapons of mass mind and public opinion along with mass destruction. All this drama is being played in the name of the democracy", "support for the Arab people" and "new freedom agenda. Puppets are dancing on the tunes of the string holders and the covert agenda is being propagated. After the lot f bloodshed and destruction the people would succeed and the new era would commence. There would e general elections and the democracy everywhere in the region. The point to ponder here is who would be the democratic leaders of these states, the people who sacrificed their lives for the sake of liberation and democracy or the wealthy business tycoons and the epicurean princes of the olden times. There would be only change of name of the government. Even the faces would be the same and more gruesome. They would come in the helm of affairs with a revengeful mind and would make the situation worse for the people. The recent wave of change in the region would not guarantee the prosperity of the people just like the older revolutions on the face of the earth. There would be a big vacuum in ideology and practice. The people of the region would not be able to find solutions to their dreams and daily needs. What would they do with democracy? It would be nothing except a new name to the olden rules. In the wake of revolutions there would raise conglomerates of problems and unresolved issues that would not let the corruption end. The economies would start from shambles and in the present world would lag far behind. It would definitely give a golden chance to the vested interest to have its stakes. The western powers along with USA would ripen the fruits of revolts and would enjoy it too. The natives would be able to change their loyalties only. It would be change of master nothing else after the successful revolutions in the region
The oil rich region is the golden sparrow for the west. The conscience of the western entrepreneurs slept when they wage a war against Iraq only to occupy the oil resources. They did not think of the catastrophe fell on the people of the region but fell out over dividing the oil wells of the region especially Iraq. Now when they have occupied the territory in person they want to extend their rule and influence towards the region. Their presence in the region would be acceptable only if they have some peacekeeping' task. As peace was returning to Iraq they came out to find other regions for their presence. They supported the opposition elements and incited a war against the rulers in the name of democracy. People of the countries are rising against the government whose leaders were backed by the west. Egypt is the most evident in this regard. Tunisia was also one of the allied nations of the west. Libya has yielded to the USA when Qaddafi became a cast's paw and provided the proofs against Dr. Qadir of Pakistan. What did Qaddafi have in return? Upheaval and turmoil and consequently western forces are cordoning off his country. Saudis fear revolt. Bahrain is under siege of rebels. The rulers of United Arab Emirates are also conscious of their rule in the states. Yemen was attacked for hunting al-Qaida but now the public is demanding change. Whatever the state is the affiliations are with the west and America. That is why it is very easy to put forward a theory that the presence of the west is the cause of all the trouble. And presence is not for the prosperity of the Arabs but for the black gold. The region would go a big change and like many countries of the east it would conclude in the end that it had made wrong decision to depend upon the west. The time is nit far when the people of the Middle East would rise. "In fact Arabs have a national dream that has been buried under the ground of Mubarak's real politics. Egyptians revolt against their ruler to restore their dignity, honor, and standing that have been wallowed in the mud shame, humiliation, and injustice. It is a revolt against subjugation, injustice, US imperialism, and Israeli arrogance. It is can be viewed as a Political cupping fire or detoxification process." The master of the situation is trying to cash the same movements by blackmailing its affiliates in the region.
