Egypt in Crisis

I was watching TV a little while ago. And, while i was surfing through the channels. I noticed that every news channel is broadcasting the crisis in Egypt. I tuned into CNN and Anderson Cooper 360 was on air. And they were also discussing the situation in the capital of Egypt. As a matter of fact, He and his team are in Cairo, Egypt and broadcasting the footage live. While I was watching the broadcast, i asked my self, "Why Egypt? Why now?" And the only answer i could think of was that now is the time that the hard working middle class, lower class and the homeless Muslims around the world are sick and tired of their corrupt leaders and elite class. Leaders that are willing to sell their mother land for money and power.

More than three decades ago, Iran was also facing the same situation. A corrupt Government could oppress the middle and lower class only to the extent that it gave birth to a revolution. A revolution in which the Oppressed were the oppressers against their elite and corrupt leaders. They overthrew the government and replaced it with the Islamic government.

I believe that Egypt is heading on the same route. A dictator, who has been ruling the country for almost three decades and thinks that he and his family owns this country. The people of a nation can be pushed only to a certain limit. Its like a balloon. One can only blow in it to an extent. After that it bursts. And that burst can be heard from a far. So here, in Egypt, the oppressed are again the oppressers and forcing their President of Egypt, Hosni Mubarak, and his regime to step down of the government and give the people their freedom back. Their Egypt back. The one which is free of stealing and corruption. A nation where everyone is equal.

P.S. Anderson Cooper also got a few punches here and there, in the crowd.
