Can a bloody and heinous uprising or existing regime and their thoughts in the middle-east , or in many other parts of the world , produce thoughtful citizens who are able to think critically and differentially while being and behaving democratically all at the same time ??
Let us turn from thoughts to thinking , might the members of one society reason in a fundamentally different way from members of another society ?? indeed might the members of some societies simply fail to grasp the force of certain ideas or modes of power and governance .
This is why I believe it is very significant in today's Middle-East , Arab , and most of the Musslem world , to separate themselves from religion and war driven ideologies , and for their professional politicians belonging to either camps to interfere minimally , and offer only general ideas about the relationship between god and man , and between man and man .
Existing politicians or aspiring ones who's vehicles are brutality , lying , pretences , and deceit , including self deceit , are the worse kind , and most if not all of them in those parts are of the sort , because trustworthy politicians could only be convincing when the populace believe that their performances are real .
In Greek mythology the god Momus is said to have expressed dissatisfaction with man because his state of mind could not be easily discerned . The blur of daily events in the Middle-East and the Arab world fogs the mind , it is why we are witnessing this horrible void in the area's recent political scene , hoping that a more responsible generation of governors will emerge one day .
While preparing to revisit parts of the middle-east , one cannot refrain from observing how sad the picture is , my usual thanks to all .
