The West Loses Its Favorite Tyrant
In the end, the refusal of pro-democracy protesters to back down sealed his fate. The people on the streets of Egypt insisted that Mubarak leave. But the West stood by the leader almost to the end, despite the fact that the despot had turned his country into a police state and plundered its economy.
En glädjens dag, inte bara för egyptierna utan för alla frihetsälskande i hela världen.
Folkets kraft har i flykt tvingat ett odjur som lett landet, som trampat hårdast på de fattigaste, som
indirekt torterat människor. Och "the West stood by this leader almost to the end"; just det Carl Bildt.
Det är en glädjens dag, men vi får inte glömma de frihetstörstande som fick offra livet under protestdagarna.
