all right, but it was their choice, was it not?
as bad as it can be, they can always express what they feel, and wont be sent to jail for it.
that also happens here in jordan. the mu5abarat (or the equivalent of CIA methinks) is what runs the country, not the parliament (which we cant even vote for) or anyone else. one slip of the tongue, you could be the next on the 'missing persons' list.
how peaceful was libya? did you know, that when gaddafi started a fight with chad (correct me if im wrong), he kidnapped schoolboys to go and fight for him? and when they wanted to have a hostage exchange, he bombed the place the were being held in?
egypt is wondrously rich. billions of dollars come in not only through the tourist business, but through the suez canal and also from its produce. distribution of this wealth is so uneven that the difference between the lower class and the higher class is so great that there is barely anyone left in the middle class, and that can be seen across the middle east, although none come as resources-rich (oil aside) as egypt.
i dont claim to have suffered from the mubarak rule, and i never did xP
but if a million people go out to protest against the rule, something is the matter.

i DONT know the positive, but then again, i dont know all of the negative.
as for bangladesh, pakistan, and india, i have no idea on whats happening over there, but i do know that a large demographic of people are living in poverty, and do you disagree that it is because of the uneven distribution of wealth?
aren't democracies supposed to be 'by the people, for the people'? then how come over two million people are living on $2 or less, when mubarak is living on $70 billion?
phew that took a lot from me.
