With the recent events and happenings in the Middle East, what's the first thing that comes to your mind?
What comes to my mind is that yes, everyone deserves to be free! How you get to that, is very important! It shouldn't be with people dying around everywhere. My blood boils when I read/hear about the counter attack by the Libyan ruler which is leading the country into civil war! You might imagine he knows better than this but what is he doing to the country? The Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak still was friends with a number of other leaders and countries and could flee into Sharm el-Sheikh but where will you go Col. Gaddafi?
Two months ago, a Tunisian fruit vendor lit a match that started a fire that has spread throughout the much of North Africa and the Middle East. Muhammad Bouazizi's self-immolation prompted anti-government protests that toppled regimes in Tunisia and Egypt.
The fire of a revolution is spreading across the region and is spreading fast.. It will be very crucial to see how other rulers behave and the way international influences are going to play a role going ahead. I am a total believer in fighting for your freedom but I feel people like Col Gadaffi should never be given such status!
Here's hoping for a brighter future for people in the Middle East and praying for democracy to prevail..
