Egypt's Revolution earthquake world

MUNICH (Reuters) - surprised the uprising in Egypt, the Western world, keen to take a position that historically sound and began to reassess his prayer Arab leaders oppose the tide of democratic and adamantly supported by the army.

Officials said at a security conference in Germany that he should be on the West in terms of principles and self-interest to support governments more democratic and respectful of the demands of citizens in the region to ensure a peaceful transition in communities eager for a better life.

Said John McCain, the Republican candidate in recent American presidential election "last two weeks were a wake-up call."

He added that he wished to be realized democracy in the region, "not out of place in a moral, but because of what it will achieve stability will help the United States.

"The best guarantee of stability is democracy ... to achieve our national interests require (in the Middle East)."

The stop turning these feelings to the reality of the outcome of events in Egypt, the largest Arab country in terms of population and most influential, where an unprecedented uprising shook the hands of President Hosni Mubarak, in power since the Court to 30 years.

Said Frank Wisner, U.S. envoy of President Barack Obama's Crisis Egyptian "What is happening in Egypt affects all our interests throughout the region. We aim to transform structured around a democratic future."

And lost U.S. efforts to bring democracy in the Middle East after the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the momentum following the victory of the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the parliamentary elections in the Palestinian territories in 2006.

Critics of Western diplomacy in the region that this chapter reflect a double standard is specifically in the West for ignoring the principles of democracy when the result is undesirable.

But many who spoke at the conference said that the security of the intifada in Tunisia and in particular the uprising in Egypt showed that the situation may be different this time because they involve a genuine expression of popular anger against corruption, unemployment and poor services provided by the State.

And lied to the involvement of young people and secular middle class and educated, the idea that Islamists are leading the opposition forces in the Arab world.

As long as Arab governments, said that the only alternative to the repressive rule of outlawed Islamist groups point out that it would come to the region, the rule of religious systems such as the Iranian regime.

He reiterated Israel's national security adviser Uzi Arad, this concern about the influence of Islamic and said that security should be high on security concerns in the region.

However, many Western analysts say the uprising provided an opportunity to engage the forces of a more technocratic, secular and modern in the government.

Said Carl Bildt, Swedish Foreign Minister, "our friends are interested in the transfer of Egypt to the world of art." Egypt represents an opportunity for democracy must not be missed.

According to John Chipman Director-General of the International Institute for Strategic Studies said the idea that the only alternative to the Islamists, Mubarak is the "obsolete argument".

He says, "There is a possibility of a government of technocrats has all the talent ... if it supported the United States and the European Union."

Diplomats say that a successful move towards better governance in Egypt, will inspire similar changes in other Arab countries.

Involved Arab states from Morocco to Yemen, in many situations with Egypt, there are many of them large numbers of unemployed youth and leaders of a tight grip on power and submit to the rule of emergency laws and opposition groups say it's time for democracy.

Analysts say that whether he went or stayed Mubarak will continue to be the real power in the army in the country and remained behind the scenes as the Egyptian armed forces in the heart of political action since the overthrow of the monarchy in 1952.

Shipman said that the continued influence junta, not necessarily a cause for concern. He continued, "Yes we can catch the annulus and the army but the government will hold a completely different band."

One sounds the most pessimistic from the standpoint of the Democratic U.S. academic Robert Sebrenajaburj who does not see "any opportunity" to end the Washington usually form alliances with dictators supported by the army.

The professor said Sebrenajaburj national security affairs, Graduate School of the U.S. Navy that the military is working quietly with the West to keep the power for Mubarak to remain dominate the political system behind the scenes.

"We missed a historic opportunity," adding that the establishment of a secular democratic state in Egypt was in the best interest of Israel
