Revolt/Revolution in Egypt

[Fisherking]

The American government where representative?! They were a small clique of wealthy men.

LOL Those you sight as a clique of wealthy men were at least chosen by the assemblies of their respective colonies to represent them.

It was an English possession after all, so naturally those in charge tended to be the wealthy.

It did however, turn out a bit better for all concerned then those which followed, for example; The French Revolution or The Russian Revolution.

Simply exposing the ideals of liberty often don’t translate into more freedom for the common man.


edit: I am not particularly interested in who’s interests new governments are formed where ever in the world.

I do hope that some may result in something other than thinly veiled dictatorships and that people enjoy some degree of freedom and liberty.

We can cheer them on but history usually points to it being more of the same.
