Spring
Arab callers. Hopefully it is. I've been following through La Vanguardia and The Economist . We'll see what ends. One looks in perspective and may be true. Maybe it's a new wave of democratization, such as southern Europe in the seventies and the eastern Europe in the nineties. Are the southern Mediterranean, with a culture very close and European influence. Hopefully
change Tunisia for the better and entrench a democratic regime that guarantees the right of minorities and women. Hopefully
Egypt again become a society of certain middle class educated and respectful of minorities, as it was in the forties and fifties, when there appeared Faruk. Hopefully
Libya be rid of the crazed terrorist Gaddafi and is able to establish an open system, as in the time of Idris and in which citizens can make their voices heard.
will not be easy. And may never know what really happened. It may not be more than a change of elites to keep things as, or perhaps it is true that globalization has now become unstoppable aspirations of young people, who see their neighbors on the north shore of the sea to live comfortably in the wild. Maybe it's that, again, Jefferson was right and in front the mantra relativistic today also can be read aloud in Arabic that which "We hold These Truths to Be Self-Evident, That All Men Are created equal, That They Are Endowed by Their Creator with Un certain unalienable Rights, That Among These Are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness " .
sure the topic comes up today in the presentation of the book by my friend John , this afternoon at half past seven, at the headquarters of the College. Do not miss it.
