American-Flavor Democracy

There are varying fortunes in the Arab states suffering in political misery but they are equally subject to American influence and pressure. These fortunes have focused closely on the freedoms, human rights and respect for principles of democracy throughout the Arab world.

As a result of these influences and pressures, the final withdrawal has begun of U.S. troops from Iraq. That has hastened Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to expel Shiite Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi on charges of terrorism, a charge used by the Americans against their opponents, to get rid of them. No sooner had U.S. troops withdrawn, when al-Maliki held the reins of power and won the support of U.S. President Obama, before car bombs and explosions returned to Baghdad. This marked the collapse of the coalition between the sects and political blocs.

This is mostly the democracy that Obama announced after the occupation left behind a stable country after 9 years. This will truly be determined after settling accounts between political forces and those at the hand of Maliki.

We in Egypt don’t want American sponsored democracy. This type of democracy often works in accordance with its vision of foreign affairs. Therefore, the concern in Egypt is with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton intervening. She has also expressed her opinion on the situations in Egypt. It was noted that the State Department has persevered, on a daily basis, in making observations and criticisms of the revolution and the military council currently in power. They are saying that the protestors, demonstrators and security forces have used excessive force. This prompted the Egyptian Foreign Minister to answer the U.S. State Department by stating that Egypt does not accept interference in its affairs from any country.

The issue here is not the convictions or statements of support issued by senior officials in the U.S.; the Egyptians demanded restraint. But the U.S. is attempting to steer events in the Egyptian streets, the military council is being pushed into taking stances contradictory to its interests and the stability of the country. The U.S. press plays an important role in this incitement and excitement.

The comments about events in Tahrir Square came from the Egyptian Minister of Justice, Mohammad Mahmoud, and Sheikh Rihan, confirming the fears of many. I went and conducted investigations which showed that involved peoples were provisioned large sums of cash which were then given to groups of boys and young people who would carry out acts of sabotage within organizations and vital institutions. This was after they had been given gasoline containers and bottles. The Minister of Justice is examining the extent of foreign investment and is currently considering the legality of the more than 200 human rights organizations that have received tens of millions of dollars from abroad.

Security Services confirmed and completed a system which includes the sovereign monitoring of movements, contacts, and components of a foreign state which may implement a plot to overthrow the Egyptian government on January 25, the anniversary of the revolution. They want to do this through the establishment of another revolution. Its goal is entering into clashes with the armed forces. The process by which they will do these things will include arson and causing chaos.

Security sources say that there is a third party that seeks to involve persons and elements in the implementation of this scenario. This group would take charge of implementing the foreign scheme, which will lead to the intervention and imposition of a mandate on Egypt.

This foreign party is hesitant in its messages and calls for prudence and caution which were posted on “Facebook” for the continuing military council.

These fears could be unfounded, but at the same time they are grounded in something. The concerns raised by American pursuits are grave; they are an interference in Egypt’s affairs, as is the abuse of American aid that is funding human rights organizations without the knowledge of the government. Such actions call to memory the plots and conspiracies committed by U.S. occupational forces in Iraq. Iraq ended up with sharp sectarian divisions. The U.S. toppled the state, making it easy prey for both the U.S. and Iran. The U.S. has sidelined Iraq completely from the Arab world!
