How The Egyptian Revolution Can Change The World

February 9, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui

Peter Hallward:

No one can predict the immediate sequence of events, but it is now possible to anticipate an Egypt […] that seeks to free itself of foreign influence, and thus an Egypt more willing to recognise the difference between a “peace process” and a “surrender process” in the Middle East. It’s possible to imagine a scenario in which Egypt’s neighbours might follow suit. It’s possible to imagine, in short, how the north African revolutions of 2011 might change the world as a whole.

What an overwhelming breath of fresh air..
