About The Situation In Egypt And More

From the political point of view, it is expedient for a government to consist of all of the forces that operate in society. This is the most balanced state there can be.

For example, since the Hezbollah exists, then it too has to be represented. It is impossible to do anything about it, so in that case it’s best for it to have a seat in Parliament. All of the various movements and parties, no matter how unusual, have to be represented in the government. The government has to include all of the views that are present in the nation. Otherwise it sways far away from the truth.

Only this kind of government creates the opportunity to take effective measures. Instead of fighting the faceless underground movement of Al-Qaeda, you will know who you have in front of you, and if necessary you will be able to take forceful measures and sanctions.

Today, if a nation breaks off contact completely, it will suffocate in two weeks. And everyone understands this perfectly.

On the other hand, it is impossible to have any dealings with a dictatorial regime. There is just one “big wheel” here, while everyone else “sits in the dungeon” in quasi-legal opposition. As a result, you cannot get to other movements, which are often very powerful. Instead of establishing relations with the country as a whole, you are speaking to one person.

That is why a wide government in power is better than having underground movements. As strange as it might seem, this frees you up. It also lets the people see the real situation instead of harboring wishful dreams of opposition.

It’s not an accident that to this day no one has found a better form of government than democracy, which gives everyone access to power, doing so with correlations that approximately correspond to the people’s views. This is undoubtedly closer to the spiritual form than anything else.

Therefore, despite the big mess that is happening, the current processes should be viewed positively. They are causing the truth to be discerned, and that is already progress and development.
