Broken promises of democracy in Egypt?
Loading...
Uploaded by RTAmerica on Nov 28, 2011
In the past week thousands of protesters gathered Tahrir Square due to the growing frustration with the lack of change in Egypt. Finally their voices were heard; today the Egyptians had the opportunity to vote for the next president of the country. The people have been given what they wanted, democracy, but will these elections help the people seek the change they were looking for? Pepe Escobar, correspondent for Asia Times, gives us his insight.

@alpidistra Agreed, however what seems logical to you and me might be in direct contradiction to what is logical for the powers that be.

@eraffel It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the actions being pursued by the Israeli government are the antithesis of what would normally be the long term strategic interests of the continued and sustainable existence of the State of Israel. It would be logical to pursue peaceful coexistence and mutual respect with your neighbors and not base your security on a far away so-called superpower that is bankrupt. Peace is security; war is not.

@Brettkenster
Your true colors show you as a bull-shit troll. RT should ban trolls like you, who would rather attack a legit news organization covering American war crimes than deal with own fascist government. Americans like you are so attached to own self imagined image of 'center of free world', 'democracy', 'a shining light on a hill' that when reality hits them in the face they would rather attack the messenger.
