Watching tonight on PressTv and AlJazeera the terrible onslaught on the brave people of Egypt, I am totally outraged and furious. In an argument I just had, I said ” … this is the result of our ways here in the West. For decades we have allowed things to build-up to the present boiling point. We are guilty by way of deafness and silence and indifference and Islamophopbia. Egyptians and others are now paying the crime we allowed to be perpetrated on the People of Palestine by Israel and America and our governments in Europe.

When the dust will settle and the Truth will finally come out, people will say: “… my god, we didn’t know”, just as the German people said when the horror of the concentration camps was shown to them – I heard it myself from my German relatives. “We didn’t know”. I’ll throw that outrageuos phrase at anyone’s face if this time too they will try to give me the “Didn’t know” speech. We have behaved with our brothers and sisters in Islam like Germans behaved with Jews – we have turned our heads the other way and liquidated the whole story by calling the Plaestinians and other Muslims fanatics and terrorists. Never stopped for a moment to really listen and ask questions.

Now that others are paying for decades of oppression allowed by the West, we ought to be ashamed. Tonight I feel unconfortable sitting in my quiet room in my nice Western neighborhood, watching others being beaten, with no danger to fear for my person. My only hope is that this time, perhaps, history may teach us something. Yet I doubt it: people watching the revolt are cheering for the Arab people fighting in the streets but do not feel in any way related to the events unfolding before their eyes.

Alan, I have the unconfortable feeling it’s too late for Obama to do the “right thing”, even if he wanted to. He missed his chance with Netanyahu when he had one. And that was a criminal misjudgement. That shrewd zionist was bale to size him up with one look and swallow him in one bite.

The Western rulers have made themselves impotent by siding-up with Zionists and other dictators all the way. Now they are in a fix – especially if they fear a scenario like the one depicted above by Glen (and by you in previous articles). But of course you are right: a solution must and can be found, but it would take the will and joint effort of many people in power. And it takes people like you to advise them.

Mr. Hart’s writings makes sense and could lead to peace but the only problem is there are too few in power who want peace. But please keep writing as it is a great guide for us laymen. There are still many who know right from wrong.

One main concern for this country is when the 2012 elections arrive the “Tea Party” in their enthusiasm do not send a virgin to run a brothel,Washington.

Egypt could be the signal “it’s time to fish or cut bait” for everyone.
