Perhaps then it is to analyse what are the problems as it is seen in Egypt, what exactly is the problem.

If it is religion, I can see the problems there, but a compromise can be had, most people will go for compromise despite what the hard liners say.

I see part of our purpose in the developed west is to listen to what other parts of the world are saying and there we have a choice, we can show them we are listening and trying despite our differences to accommodate, or we can go our own way and leave them to it. Personally I seek the former as I see the latter as negative and not the way forward for a world so far developed in other areas.

As to the information revolution, the Global Village, we can now with ease talk with anyone in any part of the world so equipped with communication technology, I would like to see that socially as well, a world despite our different cultures, we can get on and differences, we can arrive at a compromise or at least make continued efforts towards it in the form of understanding.

Despite western superiority mentality, I am no better nor worse than anyone else of any other nationality, my country's history of conquest and colonialism has taught me that, as it is not nice for past reputations to proceed a person.
