Chapter 7: The "Arab Spring" - A fleeting dream (6)
173 Arab spring
has come (2/4)
It is a matter of course that dictator manipulates public opinion with
cunning manner. Even if the constitution prohibits the multiple selection of
president, it might be revised unanimously. He becomes the lifetime president. The
state will be at the discretion of the dictator. His power becomes quite
strong. The regime looks like to continue forever. Then the dictator will transfer
his power to his descendant. In Syria, president post was taken over from Hafiz
Assad to his son, Bashar Assad, in 2000. Gaddafi of Libya and Mubarak of Egypt
were the same whereas resulting in failure.
But absolute power corrupts absolutely. During the long dictatorship, political
and social organization erodes gradually. The economy falls into trap of
stagflation. Daily life of ordinary people seems not to have been influenced at
first sight because the prices of bread, gasoline, water and electricity are maintained
in low under the claptrap policy. But the jobless is wandering on the street
and ordinary citizens suffer from opaque syndrome which cannot forecast the
future.
