it as transition from dictatorship to democracy. in the true it's. the sense of bringing down the old system the old it's or system and it doesn't seem to you that people there are trading one form of oppression for another they're often happens. that happens and it's a good set to bring down the oppression. but. so they have to be very careful but it seems the egyptians weren't very careful what they have now is their military brutally cracking down on protesters we hear about all kinds of abuses islamists are gaining power in the country my question is this what kind of democracy could the current state of affairs in egypt possibly create. removes made a mistake and should never be a bird condition give the parliament to the army and then i'll resign over schools

. because that's it on me as it is being the agent of repression and egypt for decades and they're going to change overnight it's unclear. as i don't know i don't have the to the intermission what their pricing is and all. that it's a different kind of situation than the pretty. well we did start out as a largely nonviolent popular uprising but we see what it turned into could it be that your concept of non violent uprising says kind of forward do you in this day and age i mean look at the arab world it's a bloody mess you get bloody mess is when you get people standing up and saying we want a change because you don't like to be told we don't love you anymore you're going to be certain to go and they will use whatever means of controlling repression and

killing and intimidation they can muster and when to not be surprised that so uprisings like that can't be nonviolent in principle they can if they go to many many more will die. this is not a solution to people dying many people couldn't run with presidents and civil wars and international military intervention. in syria for example and. if they go into a civil war for an intervention in syria many many many more will die it's hard to predict the syrian opposition absolutely refuses to talk to the government don't you think it deepens the crisis adds to the violence what they're doing there in refusing to negotiate because negotiations are. the pressure government use to get the resistors not to resist but you go

with the ship you have to go through it but that situation basically rules out nonviolent struggle that you were talking about it provokes while it is causing the regime. use what i don't see maybe. so people should be dying in the name of revolution is that what you're saying you seem to have. something only a means. to the country and no i just see a bloody mess instead of the idea makes nonviolence surge that you are writing about in the book let me ask you this the us nato have set a precedent with the military intervention in libya could it do you think it creates a situation in syria where radical elements among the syrian opposition are more inclined to provoke these sorties in order to invite any intervention i think you

know military intervention is very dangerous and will. be and some syrians have been doing that that's very unfortunate because that will not help that we're not being a democracy that will be a victory by the outside forces being assuming you get rid of the old regime then the new regime will be heavily influenced by the powers that intervene u.s. and france or whoever it is so that they will have a major say her government happens and that's not the power of the syrian people but you think should be is that what happened in libya yes in your opinion what's in it for the u.s. when it decides to meddle in foreign revolutions in foreign affairs you know that as well or better than i do you know. i'm not talking about u.s. policy why let's talk about it why opinion is u.s. government should not be intervening in military in the name was in democracy

because it doesn't work and they can serve other objectives what about nonmilitary means it seems they're using all kinds of means their means of service should be used by the u.s. government but people of that country to get rid of. a lot of people are getting this. says that washington is more into establishing friendly regimes rather than democracies if we take libya for example people there are afraid to speak up right now i mean we have reporters on the ground and they have to blur people's faces all the time because people are afraid of being seen the leadership there is about to introduce sharia law as the basis for their new laws which is pretty much incompatible with democratic values so you pretty much looks like an example of how instead of a supposed transition to democracy people are getting pretty much the opposite so i think that these is a different case because that's a case where the. changes in the.

foreign forces combine to assume or were down the gadhafi regime that's an example of the view of the longer answer or on a slightly different note occupy wall street a very peaceful movement by all standards do you find them effective you know. you know. just people. are annoyed with. the stream limited political control they have. the extreme this distribution of. some the people making the expression of their opinions on. symbolism does not change the distribution of wealth in a country so you're saying no change is possible through that kind of nonviolent action yes or. change opinions maybe but this is not sufficient let's get back to

the arab world people there seem to be getting more and more convinced that nonviolence doesn't get them anywhere either do you think change can be brought about only through revolution. can be both ways but what kind of change exactly i'm glad you brought that out because it seems the way it is now is people take to the streets with genuine aspirations but those who take advantage of those uprisings end up stepping on people's rights as well as they are pretty assessors had change can be from dictatorship to new to. me many years ago. they. mean it's inevitable but no means the kind of action that you choose to use to determine what kind of result you get is very clear that recurs extreme care

and extreme good judgment and clear thinking and strong to prevent that from happening i see a contradiction between this idealist view of a nonviolent revolution and a reality you know someone said and i don't remember who it was but it goes any revolution is started by idealists carried out by fanatics and taken advantage of by bastards around the world. but in the revolution somewhere different in your work can you outline the steps that would make a revolution happen but what i think was overlooked is life after a revolution and in most cases it is a set tale. to be concerned about. because in concluding pages. it warns about.

it's sort of a solution to what to do that correctly but it warns about but that warning of yours is being largely ignored don't you think i believe that it's a problem that's why we've got more work going on thank you very much for the interview but it's been a pleasure. give to something inappropriate from the public they can easily be. casualties of war ok. i wish you would have never happened but it has. been a war a t.v. camera becomes an unnecessary what does their own safety all foreign nationals including journalists and inspectors should leave around. and the spear what
