The World Has Gone Mad!

In a world where the West screams democracy, why is it we are still living in countries which are totally autocratic? Why? I ask because these countries governments suit the West and as soon as their use runs it out you can be damn sure they will be kicking us to the roadside just like they have everyone else! I mean take Egypt for example in the last elections America said that Egypt had taken a great step towards democracy. Now any Egyptian who is reading this will be laughing at this point because everyone knows the elections where rigged thousands of people prevented from voting and hundreds threatened and beaten. Even when the Egyptian judges tried to publish a report with these findings they were arrested! Please people do not tell me that America doesn't know what goes on in Egypt and in other countries don't tell me that don't know people are systematically tortured, beaten arrested and threatened just for expressing their opinion. How can you preach democracy and freedom when the Western governments support governments that don't een allow for the safety of their people in the streets. If we are to speak of freedoms the greatest of all is to live without fear. Egyptians and so many other countries in Africa and the Middle East live in fear everyday, to speak out to live their lives the way that people in other parts of the world take for granted. I don't mind if the American and British governements don't speak out because Egypt is stable and they need it. BUT why the hell don't they just admit that instead of helping to cover up the horrendous things that happen here everyday. Iraq was invaded to free the people and bring democracy, but we all know the truth is that if Saddam had been cooperating with American government there is no way they would have interfered no matter what the government was doing to its people. It disgusts me to think that so many people who really do love democracy and freedom are being blinded by their governments who care more about money and greed than the values of democracy and because of that help to cover up the crimes against humanity that appear everyday in the Middle East. For me it has become a daily occurance I barely flinch anymore when I see pictures or videos of the police beating someone. Everyday I hear someone else has been arrested for expressing their opinion or trying to demonstrate. The luck ones are scared and threatened and then released, the unlucky could stay anything up to a year being beaten and tortured and believe me it doesn't matter whether you commited a crime or not after you come out of jail your life is over. You won't find a job, you won't find anyone who even wants to talk to you for fear that they will be arrested or punished for associating with you, and in the end when they can't get to you when they see that you are no longer afraid or they realise they can't break your spirit they will use your family against you too. If thats what democracy means no thanks we are better off with what we have at least we know our own reality and we know what to expect.
