Egypt and Tunisia are liberated from dictatorship. This user supports more moves toward participatory, engaging democracy (though appreciates the strides that the new governments of those countries have made towards justice).
My feelings on the Arab revolts: The people of Egypt and Tunisia should be congratulated for having deposed their countries' despots, and more change is bound to come (in those countries and elsewhere). This user supports more moves toward participatory, engaging democracy by the Egyptian and Tunisian governments (though appreciates the strides that the new governments of those countries have made towards justice).
Popular rebellion in Libya gave way to state repression by the Libyan government, to the extent that it became a civil war. The NATO forces waging the air war in Libya, in my opinion, are doing a shabby, careless job at protecting lives and ensuring precautions against unjustified slaughter. Such is the result of reckless, dehumanizing air wars (and war in general). However, the goal of the rebels attempting to do away with Col. Gaddafi's abusive régime has my support; it seems both ethically sound and in sync with the wishes of the Libyan public.
