Who are we to judge whether or not a group of people are ready for freedom or not? If we have the audacity to ask that kind of question then we are opening ourselves to the judgment of those who would ask “is America worthy and responsible enough to keep the freedoms they have?”
Of course, not every individual in America is as responsible as they should be, likewise, not every Arab may be ready for freedom. But people deserve freedom… all people.
Opinion 2
In Egypt and Bahrain in recent weeks, I’ve been humbled by the lionhearted men and women I’ve seen defying tear gas or bullets for freedom that we take for granted. How can we say that these people are unready for a democracy that they are prepared to die for?
