I received a disturbing twitter message from someone who claims to be in Egypt. They are making claims that the military who is their to temporarily calm things down after their oppressive leader Mubarak fled, is beating, shocking, torturing, arresting and even killing the protesters.
Is the military doing the work that Mubarack would have done while he was there or is there something more to what is happening?
The BBC reported last week Arrests and deaths as Egypt protest spreads across Middle East. You have to ask were the demonstrators really seeking a democracy?
Simply put, they were already living under a dictatorship and a democracy isn't far from it. A democracy can be simply defined as a government that does what is believes is best for the people.
On the other hand, a republic, like the one the US founded upon can be defined as a government that is LIMITED by a Constitution and equally protects the rights of all people equally.
The Mideast is in a turmoil and the people of Egypt want to Live Free however, it appears that they and many others around the region are living under autocratic and military rule.
If truly successful, the people of the mideast will revolt against their leaders and overcome their oppressive governments.
Our hearts and prayers goes out to anyone living under such rule.
GOD'S WORD FOR TODAY
Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein. Psalms 69:34 (KJV)
