revolutions dr sharp looking at how revolutions and forward in the arab world do you see it as transition from dictatorship to democracy. in the. absence of bringing down the old system the old it's or them and it doesn't seem to you that people there are trading one form of oppression for another they're often happens. if that happens and it's a good set to bring down a person. but it's not sufficient so they have to be very careful but we think the egyptians were and 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 they should never greet the bird condition give the parliament to the army and then i'll resign. because that's it i mean it's been the agent of repression and egypt for decades and they're going to change overnight it's unclear. as i don't know i do that because of the information what their pricing is and all. that it's a different kind of situation than the predominant you know story 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 nonviolent uprisings is kind of over 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. we don't like to be told we don't love you anymore you're going

to be the center you're 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 into many many more will die. divines is not the solution to people dying many people couldn't run surprising since civil wars and international military intervention. in syria for example when the minute. 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 they are doing there in

refusing to negotiate because negotiations are. the pressure government use to get the resistors not to resist. the ship you have to throw it out 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 and you seem to have. something that 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 can intervene military intervention is very dangerous and. maybe and 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 us and france or whoever else that they will have a major say in her government happens and that's on the part of the syrian people but your 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 i let's talk about it why opinion is u.s. government should not be intervening in military in the name of separation democracy because if it doesn't work and they can serve other objects 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. sense 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 we're 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. 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. 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. change can be both ways but what kind of change exactly i'm glad you brought that up 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. but. i mean it's

inevitable but no means the kind of action that you choose to use determine what kind of result you get is very clear that recurs exterior you 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 a very. similar differences in your work you outlined 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 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. when i'm comfortable question leads to a great accusation towards who is more as you know following. the president who isn't supposed to hide anything. more it's someone asking him why do you make
