You would too if your brother had been imprisoned or worse by the regime. That kinda changes your perspective, you know. Life in the slums of Caïro, Baghdad, and Damascus is a little different than retirement in a brandnew sundrenched southwestern US city with all the 21st century modcons and securities!
But all that is changing! Profoundly, it looks like. Or have you already forgotten what happened in 2011 in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Qatar, Yemen, and Syria? Many thousands are waking up. And rising up.
I'm not saying it's enough. I'm not saying it's going anywhere substantial eventually, but I do say that the trend is commendable and deserves support from the international community. Instead of isolation as seems to be your view.
Without that support that movement is doomed. And that is not what I want. Do you want it to be all for naught?
