Brandenburg Gate
The revolution in Egypt in the media and the Western look you take what is happening in Egypt. Yet the pragmatically gestahlteste observers will have to admit that he occupies the usual voyeur role of viewers hardly indifferent if the coup in Egypt on the screen can be seen. There is admiration for people who take the destiny of their country into their own hands, despite all risks. And anger in the face of the thugs of the Mubarak regime which still spatially limited the peaceful protests since Wednesday in a – civil war to transform. Incomprehension, compared with some watered-down Declaration of Western politicians, and above all: scepticism whether the next days and weeks will bring actually “good”.
The trip to Egypt, whither? The revolution in Egypt in the media of broadcasts, correspondents and of course time of experts it is media time, time.

Of for now over her, the motorway in the direction of democracy and those who Warbled this naive song on Tuesday, now strikingly calm. The Western view self nor the realpolitisch cynical tacking of Western policy, which probably, missed another chance for once with clear words to keep a remnant of credibility in the Arab world, was there more bearable. There, at least, you know that democracy does not mean that the democratically elected also fit a (see Hamas). However, in many places still one-way streets be dreamed after peace-joy-pancake land in the illusory world of political science. Together the now proverbial Western arrogance is stating that the world would be a better place if all be like we both postures, basically.
