Bracket: Democracy and Freedom
is seen in Europe that revolutionaries seek democracy and freedom and our beliefs in accordance with human rights, we encourage them to continue their protest movements.
But deep down we really know that here in Europe the intensity of these claims, their exact nature, which reach and accurately position the Tunisians, Egyptians, Libyans under the banner of democracy and freedoms.
The concepts of democracy and freedom "Western" as we enjoy in Europe are variable geometry from one country to another according to the ruling regime, so it is expected that each Arab country resolution currently have each of the concepts of democracy and freedoms of a different and variable Arab country to another.
Anyway at the bottom are all waiting for a better life because of social improvements and greater freedoms, civil or political, but ultimately it will depend on polique regime that emerges in power the end of the Arab revolution. Nothing is played for now
Brief European press review
:
Gaddafi deserves sanctions
The Security Council of the UN approved unanimously Saturday to sanctions against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and his entourage. The reason for this resolution: the bloody suppression of protest Jamahiriya . These penalties are absolutely justified, the daily Delo, who doubt whether these meet the UN sanctions, given the many trade links with Libya, the countries of Europe: "It's hard to shake off the impression that these sanctions are not appropriate for everyone. Libya has indeed become in recent years an important economic partner, particularly because of the oil, gas natural and lucrative arms contracts. With the revolutions that brought down the regimes of Egypt and Tunisia and Libya led to the brink of civil war, the West finds itself overnight at a crossroads. It was easy to drive with corrupt dictators who had created a false illusion of peace in the Middle East. But it's over. The new partners are the voters and Arab civil society that the West had largely ignored until then. "(28/02/2011)

laughable sanctions against Libya
The 15-member Security Council of the United Nations adopted unanimously Saturday to sanctions against Libya . The Slovak Economic Hospodárske noviny newspaper is not convinced of their effect: "The problem is that sanctions, resolutions or threats have never brought a dictator to reason. Saddam Hussein or Slobodan Milosevic n have been arrested by force. For Kim Jong-Il and Alexander Lukashenko, the resolutions are up today a paper tiger. Compared to other dictators, Gaddafi plays at another level. He has already survived many penalties and that ultimately the world leaders who came to ask forgiveness. Reason has always been clear: Gaddafi's oil and the billions that flow from it. ... This new arms embargo is ridiculous. The crisis in Libya once again betrays the world's inability to cope with people like Gaddafi. "(02/28/2011)
