I like how Levant congratulates himself for hating Mubarak.
Who the hell does he think his buddies in the Likud have been backing all these years? |
They're just doing right by Egypt. They hated Mubarak but they supported him because women in Egypt would be worse off without him. |

| Interesting to me at least how the protesters in Egypt linked with groups in other countries and how much influence the writings of Dr. Gene Sharp had on the movements. I am just getting up to speed on his teachings about non-violence but his writings are the bible of the various pro-democracy movements. Anyone read his works. or familiar with the Albert Einstein foundation?" |

He's one I'd missed, but he just may be the intellectual author of many of these revolutions. As I write, the website of his organization, the Albert Einstein Institution, is down, but more can be read about him in The New York Times - "Shy U.S. Intellectual Created Playbook Used in a Revolution" and Scientific American - "Egypt's revolution vindicates Gene Sharp's theory of nonviolent activism". |
