^ What an irony ! When the world was being swept away by
the democracy storm, only the Muslim world, ruled by the
Kings, monarchs and dictators, remained unaffected. Alas!
the Muslim rulers took no lessons from the Autumn of Nations
(fall of communism in 1989).
^ The Arab Spring was waiting to happen. In fact, what's
surprising is that it happened so late, perhaps by a decade or
so. In this age of liberalization, the authoritarian rule has no
place in any civil society.
^ Though people in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen got rid
of the dictators, the civil rule is nowhere in sight. The new
rulers too fail the test of liberty and equality.
^ The Spring has hit a roadblock in Egypt and Syria. Its success
or otherwise in these two nations would decide the future of
1.6 billion people.
^ Like other well-wishers, I'm waiting eagerly for this Spring to
bloom soon. Let's all pray this Spring to bring flowers to our
Muslim brethren in those countries.
^ Amen !!!!
