The World Is Going Upside Down
Events that would define the world history are taking place at such a pace that it has become difficult to predict the course of actions the results of these events would lead to.
Egypt on the road to democracy Hosni Mubarak might have been at the helm of power for 3 decades but the way he is leaving definitely makes him look weak and brings out the importance of democracy as an institution.
Few months back, Egypt was a peaceful nation famous for tourist destinations and Oil and suddenly there was a rebellion that led to the downfall of the president, whose rule has been masked with controversies and corruption.
In the end, the residents of Egypt said "Enough is enough" and finally he succumbed to the pressure around him.
This revolution has given a ray of hope to other African countries like Tunisia, etc which have been ruled by dictators and kings for ages and despite being one the rare countries with abundant supply of natural resources, the life for common man remains miserable.
As I wrote earlier, the pace at which Egypt got rid of its president took everyone by surprise and this uprising is definitely going to be a landmark in history of world China cannot be at peace with its neighbors I agree to the fact that the rise of China has been exemplary and phenomenal and it no doubt is the only nation in the world that can challenge the supremacy of U.
S.
A, which requires China to show some maturity and become an important strategic player in its region and while China has been trying to hold diplomatic talks with its neighbors, its relations with its neighboring countries like India, Japan, Vietnam remain bad, if not worse.
If a recent article published in their ruling party's journal is to be believed, they can attack any of its neighbors, if they go too far with their relations with U.
S.
A.
Though none of the countries have reacted to this news, the diplomatic circles have been ripe with China's growing insecurity with U.
S.
A growing clot in south East Asian region.
The only ally china claims to have is Pakistan, which going by past incidents has always been an ally of stronger player and for now, the ball is in China's court.
U.
S.
A is back to its bully tactics Raymond Davis is no diplomat and thereby does not deserve a diplomatic immunity.
His killing of two Pakistani men in so called claimed act of self-defense, makes him look like an idiot and now when he has been produced in Pakistani court and a decision has be to taken be Pakistan's court about him, U.
S.
A acts like a big brother.
They have stopped all grants/funds to Pakistan and have canceled all important meetings with Pakistani officials and have promised to make life difficult for Pakistan, if they do not release Raymond.
For god's sake, someone should remind U.
S.
A that every country has their own law and if one of their cow boys commits a crime in the land of Pakistan, he will be taken care by the law of that country, not be some judge sitting in U.
S.
A.
In the past, they had put heavy sanctions on India for conducting nuclear law and guess what, no famine was supported due to their sanctions and India still prospered as a country.
Their bully tactics are only going to increase china's influence on Pakistan and will hamper U.
S.
A's progress in Afghanistan.
