Democracies: The real Definition

So we have been seeing many news stories with information on the Ukraine claiming that President Victor Yanukovych is a dictator.  Furthermore, we are seeing democratic countries rooting for the people to overthrow him like last time in 2004, but he was reelected in 2010 then disposed again.  However, doesn't this sound familiar?  Egypt was a big problem, the people overthrew President Musharraf then elected another dictator who was part of the extremist sect of the Islamic Brotherhood.  

I think that countries need to be ready for their own free governments.  No other countries should force the people to overthrow their authoritarian government because if they are not prepared then the new government will fail to be created or if it is created it will fail.  The United States is notorious for pushing others to create democracies.

Now lets get to the lovely word of democracies.  The United States is not a democracy, the European countries are not democracies, and none of the governments who claim to be democracies are democracies because they are all  representational governments.  Representational governments are those governments who represent the people and allow for different representations of the population.  For instance, like Democrats and Republicans.  If the government was a democracy then majority rules.  The majority will make the decisions for everyone.  Just imagine if we had a democratic government then we would have Californians and New Yorkers determining our lives.

No Military Invasion of Syria

Everyone knows that Obama is now adding military option against Syria if the conflict does not resolve or President Assad does not step down.  

President Obama is not thinking about this and he is acting very similar to President Bush.  Many of you will think that this is not similar to President Bush invading Iraq, but it is. 

I do not think that we have the right to intervene into the Civil War of another nation.  Anyways, if we help these rebels (militarily( who is to say they will not turn on us once like many of Shiite Muslims in Iraq.  However, not all of them have turned on us, but definitely the radical side of them that has a similar outlook to the rulers of Iran.  President Obama and Democrats in the end did not support the invasion of Iraq and criticize Bush for the war.  However, they all think that it is okay to invade Syria.

The situation in Syria is worse then the one in Iraq in 2003.  The reasons why:
  1. It is a Civil War between a group of people (rebels) and the government.  The rebels are tired of the government they view as tyrannical.  They say they want more rights, but who knows it could be like Egypt in the future where it actually gets more strict, but under Sunni rule.
  2. Yes, the conflict may be causing mass amounts of refugees, but in what war has there been no refugees?  Yes, countries like Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, and other countries are having problems with refugees, but that is nothing new when it comes to war.  Those people are the ones that deserve to have food and aid.  On the other hand, the rebels are violent and once again we do not know if they will turn on us once they have won the war.
  3. Russia and China have valuable reasons for other countries not to invade into the Syrian conflict and they could pose big problems to the U.S. if we decide to invade.  Furthermore, Russian troops (minimal) are already on ground in Syria, helping President Assad gain control over Syria again. If we invade to help the rebels we will be fighting a proxy war with the Russian military.  That will make relations with the Russians even worse.  I guess we could use Syria as a means of getting back in China for causing that conflict with Japan, but still not wise to invade.
Once again are dear President and Congress is going to refuse to listen to the American people.  He refused to listen on the Healthcare Bill and now he is not going to listen to the American people again.  We should stay out of it all together and not make the decision to join a side.  Right now no one knows who is the lesser of two evils. In the end, it looks like Obama wants to support rebels who eat soldiers hearts to send a message.

Could See this coming between Israel and Egypt

I Knew that something was going to occur in Egypt. Egypt was never really happy when they signed the peace treaty after they got their butts handed to them in the war. Do Egyptians really think that they are strong enough to handle Israel at the moment?  I do not think that they are because they are in the middle of their revolution.  I think that they need to settle it down because Israel will defeat them if the peace treaty comes to an end.  Egypt does not have their priorities right at the moment.  They need to first deal with the establishment of their country.  I do not know if the damaging to the Embassy was part of The Muslim Brotherhood dealings, but they need to calm down (by the way I do not hate Muslims or people that follow the Islamic Religion).

I know that Israel and Egypt will deal with their problems like countries do either with diplomacy or war.  They are both capable of fighting by themselves and handling the situation.  We all know that this is not going to be a long drawn out war and they will do what they need to do to have victory.


Aside for the whole Egypt and Israel situation, I think that the US and other countries should butt out of the peace negotiations. They are obviously not going to help them the resolve their issues.  Another thing, Obama needs to think about the pros and the cons before breaking ties with Israel.  I do not think that it is the United Nations or United States business putting their noses in Palestine and Israel's problems. It is their fault why they are in this mess, they should have thought about the long-term problems before they created Israel's borders.
