"Those who can not remember the past are condemned to repeat it"
George Santayana, American philosopher (1863 - 1952)
Revueltas, entitled "revolutions" There have been many, but according to the eminent historian Bernard Lewis, the great majority of them have simply been violent changes of rulers. The Professor Lewis believes that during the last three hundred years have only been three events that deserve to be called revolutions have dramatically changed the societies in which they occurred: the French Revolution in the late 18 th century, the Russian revolution in the early decades of the 20th century , and the Iranian revolution in the second half of 20. The three revolutions had democratic roots, and three ended in dictatorship and despotism. The French Revolution brought to power of Napoleon, the Russian Revolution to Stalin, and Khomeini's Iranian revolution
What is happening in Egypt is a repeat of what happened in Iran during 1978 until January 1979. Like the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who ruled Iran for 38 years (since 1941, when his father was deposed, until 1979), Hosni Mubarak has ruled Egypt for three decades (since October 1981 when his predecessor was assassinated Sadat , to this day). Both dictators were oppressive, brutal, tyrannical and corrupt. Both were supported and maintained by the United States. Both were accused of being puppets of the Americans. Both diplomatic relations with Israel.
disturbances, spontaneous, popular and nationalist, against the regime of the Shah and his dreaded secret police began in January 1978. In the month of December 1978 strikes and demonstrations paralyzed the country. The U.S. president, Jimmy Carter, stopped supporting the Shah, (the current president, Barak Obama, copies of letters, has withdrawn its support for Mubarak). The Shah went into exile in mid-January 1979.
The Dr.Shapour Bakhtiar, one of the opposition leaders, whom the Shah had appointed just weeks before Prime Minister took office, disbanded secret police, freed political prisoners, promised free elections and invited the Islamists to join a national unity government.
On February 1, 1979 Ayatollah Khomeini, a fanatical cleric who had been living in exile in France, he returned to Iran and was greeted by a crowd of millions. Bakhtiar rejected immediately and appointed Mehdi Bazargan, a politician known as a defender of democracy and civil rights. The army supported the Islamists and the temporary government of Bakhtiar was forced to resign on 11 February.
Khomeini proceeded to eliminate all his opponents and many army officers. Thousands were charged with fifth columnists and executed. Bazargan, seeing that the Shah's regime had been replaced by a theocratic dictatorship, resigned several months later, Khomeini was in control all of the country. A popular revolt, anti-dictatorship and pro-democracy culminated in a fundamentalist Islamic dictatorship, more cruel and tyrannical than the previous regime.
If Mubarak falls, it is likely that the Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic fundamentalist organization, takes power in Egypt, which has the majority support of the population. Surveys conducted in Egypt revealed that 59% of the population wants to live under an Islamic government, 50% support Hamas, 82% believe that the punishment for adultery is stoning to death, 77% agree that thieves cut off their hands, and 84% said that those who abjure the Islam deserve death.
Iran In 1979, he jumped from the frying pan into the fire. Egypt, in 2011, is following the steps. Enfoque@netvision.net.il
