Egitto - Purtroppo non sempre con le elezioni si instaura u a democrazia. Del resto anche Hitler fu eletto. Talvolta il mix di corruzione dei precedenti governi e crisi economica fanno si che i popoli leggano democraticamente dei futuri dittatori. Ora in Egitto la piazza ha determinato la caduta di Morsi che stava instaurando una dittatura islamista. Ora però ho qualche dubbio che l'esercito porti la democrazia.

A LESSON FOR DEMOCRACY.
The events unfolding right now in Egypt have revealed that the democratic system can be used to allow despots and disctators to claim 'ligitimacy' of goverment. Like in the 1930s, when the Nazis in Germany used the voting system to grab the reigns of power in order to install the most abussive dictatorship in history, so did the Muslim Brotherhood grab the reigns of power in Egypt.
Kudos to the Egyptian people to now not stand for this farce of what was passed as 'ligitimacy' to govern. True, two years ago in their eagerness to rid thmselves of Hosni Mubarak and his regime, they naively believed that any change was better than this corrupt goverment, they fell for the false promises of Mursi and his lot. I confess that I did as well. But the Mursi goverment has revealed themselves not only incompetent to run a modern society and economy, but also revealed their totally unrealistic agenda to turn Egypt into a medieval Islamic state by hook or by crook.

Tonight the people of Egypt are showing us again what real democracy is all about: THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. Winning elections is not neccessarily democracy, because legitimacy to govern come from serving the will of the people. Goverments of the world listen to the loud roar of the people in Tahrir Square. Listen to the will of your people and take head. Your are not rulers of your people but their servants.
