BriefWord[10]

"Could not Sleep,
Too Much Thinking,
Again and Again,
Until my fingers started to bleed. "--[x]

Note:I write a lot, I can't sleep much, or I sleep on wrong times, I wrote yesterday the following BriefWord, even though I was in really bad mood, but writing does help.

BriefWord[10]:

The Arab Democracy has gone DemoCrazy.

The World and its new order, a democratic order, a one-two-three numerical order. So pure, perfect, and innocent it appears. A political Ideology that's applied to small nations by superpower nations. An Ideology, that's proven a disaster historically. An ideology, that bears none and it adopts everyone, and it divides a nation into two and rarely unites them into one. In the Arab World democracy is becoming a fashion show with ugly models. Everything new comes from the West to the Middle East is misused and abused! A mystery that remains more than a secret in History.

Democracy is a criminal, a devil, and a sinful child if it's been taken advantage of. Unfortunately, it's always been taken advantage of. History does prove indirectly that Democracy is the machine, which paves a road through mountains for those, who could not be heard, to be heard by a majority of their people. With a Strong propaganda, money, and powerful words, one can easily use this machine and pave his way to power. With Democracy Hitler got to Power, Bush, The current Irani president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Moreover, Hamas few days ago got to Power as well. Democracy paves the road to anyone who knows how to move the emotions of his nation. The Weaker the Nation is, and the stronger the candidate is, the easier he gets to power.

Democracy with its Election system is just a disaster, it always causes a nation to be divided like in Bush's election, or it rarely unites the nation unless the president was Saddam, who usually won by 99% of the votes. There should be a minority who chooses the leader, no need for everyone to go and vote, it's not like all people know what politics is, it's not like every one really knows the presidential candidates well too. That's the election in general at least.

However, in the Arab World, the Election is even worse, there might be a fight in the polls where people vote. There might be people protesting against something unknown, there might be someone rejecting a vote and another accusing someone of cheating! One is buying votes until he wins, for him The Election is a wall-street stock market. For example, the last Egyptian parliament election, the Muslim Brotherhood party won many chairs in the parliament, behind the scene during the voting process, people fought, people argued that someone cheated, some feared the Muslim Brotherhood to win and so on. Hence, having more than one party in a country is just one of the Democracy's problems.

KSA for example, had the first-ever Municipal Election in its History. Wow! An achievement it seems to the West who tries so hard to spread Democracy. The sad fact is that Democracy in KSA was just tribalized. Democracy in the Arab World is also tribalized, in BriefWord[8] ,It's mentioned that Tribalism functions strongly in micro-social level, while Nationalism functions strongly in macro-social level. The point is that during Democratic Elections, which usually applies on micro-social level, Tribalism or its Traditions plays big part in deciding who wins a chair, or who loses another. One will vote for his tribe member or relative not for someone, who is well-deserved and more qualified such as in Oman. Democracy has gone Demo-crazy in the Middle East.

It's interesting to see how this Arab World functions, it doesn't function normally at all, It's almost impossible to please. The West tries to support their puppet presidents they didn't like it. They tried to spread Democracy among them and they still didn't like it. They support Israel somehow they hate the West for that, even though they were responsible for it. They supported Saddam once they didn't like it, they stood against him and they didn't like it. They supported Kuwait against Iraq and they still didn't like it, in fact they were divided on that. Some might question, what do they like? Or what kind of Democracy or Democrazy would fit them?

It seems to be so hypocritical situation. Actually, the Arab Society is divided within itself. It's divided ideologically between Religious Belief, and Nationalistic-Tribalistic-Traditional Belief. That's why their judgment and reaction toward the West is so confusing. For example, invading Iraq by The U.S forces seemed so wrong to Iraqis as Iraqi nationalists, but it seemed so wrong to Arabs Muslims. For Arab Muslims it was an attack against Islamic Country. To Arab Nationalist, it was an attack against an Arab country. To a Sunni Iraqi, it was an attack against his homeland. To A Shia Iraqi, it was a victory against a dictator.

All Arabs are divided and confused ideologically, there's nothing, that's uniting them. They pretend to be Muslims while being a communist. They pretend to be Muslims while the concept "3eeb" [shameful] is overtaking the concept "Haram" [Forbidden], Tribalism. They pretend to be Muslims while they are following tens of parties, which each has different ideology, within a small piece of land. And, When it's time to make a political decision toward The West all these ideologies are mixed up between Religious Belief or Nationalistic, Tribalistic Traditional Belief. The West has for sure missed this point, or misapproached and mitaken the Arab Democrazy problem,

Majority of Arabs don't analyze the problem into small pieces and try to collect all these pieces into a big picture, but instead they draw the big picture, then they break it into tiny pieces, then they leave it broken for others to get involved within. And, when someone gets involved within, they blame him, and say "You want to invade us", "You hate us", "You are trying to Brainwash us". However, the real picture is that They have broken themselves into pieces, and weaken themselves. And, that makes others to get in, and collect the pieces as they desire, then draw their own picture, which matches an image they have.

They have been trying to apply Democracy on the Arab world, and Democracy means "Let The people draw their own Image", so far, so hopeless. The Arabs have kept drawing a tribalized DemoCrazy image of themselves or a fanatical Islamic demoCrazy. It's been so weak or so extreme, nothing is in the middle yet.

-What should there be in the middle to make all these Democracy issues work fine?
-What shall we be to make a middle ideo-ware combine the two into one, not weak nor extreme?
-What shall there be done to avoid tribalizing and traditionalising Democracy?

As usual, answers are not expected, but these are questions to have a deeper thinking for you dear readers to realize your current situation in a different approach. I would have written more and more, keep going on this, but again all of a sudden I stop to look for another clue for our miserable situation in another BriefWord.
