I'm sick of hearing political bullshit like "America's interest in Israel" or Iran this, or Saudia Arabia that. Or France's interest in the middle east or Russia's or whatever!

I don't wake up in the morning thinking "gee, I wonder how my interests in Israel are doing?". I couldn't even tell you what those interests are! I'm sure you political savvy minded people can school me on that.

But the point I am making is I am American. I am NOT America. America is not a person. America is not a living entity. It does not have a mind. Yet for something that doesn't have a mind it boasts a lot of interests!!

This political jargon completely distorts the truth. By using this political jargon we aren't recognizing that what we should say is "the ruling elite of America have vested interest in Israel" and so on

Americans have falsely viewed middle easterners as religious fanatics hell bent on blowing each other up, for superficial stupid miniscule differences. WELL ARAB SPRING PROVES THAT'S ALL A LOAD OF CRAP!

Arab Spring is:
1. a popular movement by definition, created by and for the people
2. cries out for true democracy
3. liberty and human rights protected for all
4. uses the most contemporary methodology of change - civil disobedience
5. the first movement of its kind to use youtube, twitter, facebook and cell phones
6. no guns
7. no bombs
8. no regimes
9. zero religious fanaticism
10. peaceful demonstrations
11. reminded thousands of Americans of MLK

Arab Spring has also helped to show that the ruling elite is less about religious fanaticism and absolutely about control and money, of which religious fanaticism is their tool. Arab Spring didn't just happen to Egypt and Tunisia but to every middle eastern nation you can think of. Arab Springers supported each others efforts.

Arab Springers supported each others efforts! We are talking about people of different nations, who according to the political jargon are supposed to hate each other and see each other blown off the map. - yet here they are supporting each others efforts for true democracy-!! WWIII is a lie perpetuated by the elite.

Arab Springers didn't just support middle eastern nations. They inspired and supported Occupy. When thousands of Americans witnessed Egyptians marching down the street we asked "why the hell aren't we doing the same thing? Arent we the original marchers?" The amazing turn out for Occupy was absolutely inspired by Arab Spring.

Arab Springers used the social media to connect with Occupy members and vice versa. Arab Springers started to hold up Occupy signs in solidarity. Why is that important? It is. Because it means the ideologies of Arab Spring is the same as Occupy. CONTEMPORARY and having nothing to do with religious fanaticism.

And it also meant people every where want the same damn thing, they just want to live their lives.

Think on it.

What if Arab Spring was a huge success for the entire middle east? What if they got their democracy? Their civil rights? Were talking genuine peace for the entire region. And its reverberating effects across the entire world.

But less than a year into Arab Spring and the media was already trying to convince you its a failure. They called it slow and lagging, they questioned the end goals or how "normal" people could set up a democracy, IMPOSSIBLE. They predicted horrible futures, civil wars, failed states. Rarely was anyone brave enough to say "they will succeed"

Yet there wasn't a single person on the planet who predicted Arab Spring. So how can anyone safely predict what would happen?

Looking back on it, I have suspicions that the media wants to everyone to believe Arab Spring is a FAILURE. Think about the consequences. If Arab Spring fails, then people everywhere lose hope - or go about their lives in apathy. If Arab Spring succeeds then people everywhere believe in change and facilitate it.

Already now they are blaming "Syria" for ruining Arab Spring. Absolutely, whats happening in Syria is horrible and far from what any peaceful demonstrator wants. But once again we are falling into political jargon. By saying "Syria", who are we blaming for the failure of Arab Spring? Because if you just say "Syria" then you are blaming the people.

We need to be truthful. We need to say the "ruling elite" are ruining Arab Spring.

The picture becomes ever clearer. Clearly, the ruling elite have every vested interest in Arab Spring failing. The question is, is the ruling elite of Syria isolated to Syria?? Or do they have connections everywhere in the middle east-and beyond?

Why is that important? Because supposedly there's evidence that some one is helping the ruling elite of Syria ruin Arab Spring (the latest chemical attacks). Who benefits if Arab Spring fails?



***********
And lastly, we need to never forget that Syria is a part of Arab Spring. Already people are using words like "civil war" to describe the situation. Which brings up of an image of two armies within a nation, both heavily armed.

But this is far from the truth of how it all started. Syrians, as a part of Arab Spring utilized civil disobedience, or peaceful protesting. Innocent unarmed civilians were slaughtered, thats not my definition of a civil war. That's my definition of terrorism.
