Like many in the Western Hemisphere I am completely taken aback by the riots in Egypt. I have watched the last few days and thought to myself, "What if this happened here?", "Why is this even happening?" and so many other questions swirl through my mind. Perhaps I am privileged to have grown up in a country where we have more freedoms and a government that acts as if they care but maybe the Egyptians have a point. I have read many accounts of those in Egypt crying out for a new government system and down with the president who has swept through three decades of rule. What makes everyone feel so inclined to force a certain system upon every country in this world? Every person learns differently and the same can be applied to countries, different people groups require different rule. Is there even a particular type of governmental system that works best? In my humble opinion, no. Its like building a puzzle and you come to an area and you think to yourself "Oh, this piece will fit!" but even though it doesn't we attempt to shove that little piece in anyway. I'm not anti-government by any means, everyone needs a system of guidelines to live by, I am saying the government must be refined to a nations needs to enable growth. And though these behaviors of our fellow human beings may seem harsh in some areas, I do believe they speak a point, the people must be heard.
Good luck in refining your nation, Egypt.
