Epilogue (10)
198 The Peace on
The Horizon (3/3)
In the Arab world democratic movement by the students
was taken over by tribal powers or religious forces. The democratic forces
lamented that their fruits have been stolen. That was the true figure of the
modern Arab and Islamic world. In the Arab-Islamic world, the ties of the
"blood" of tribe, and the bond of "religion" of Islam had
deep and firm roots. But there was no solidarity being rooted in "ideology”
like democracy. Ideology is a product of wisdom. The conflict cannot be solved
by the ties of "blood" or the bond of "religion". If any new
ideology would be born in the Middle East, which is not necessarily a product
of West Europe like democracy, it might be possible to open the door for the
peace.
The tweet of the ordinary citizens can be heard. They
say that the long and severe age of dictatorship before Arab Spring was more
peaceful than now. Looking over the chaos in current Middle East, the tweet of
the ordinary citizens means a kind of the truth. Peace in freedom would be
short and peace in oppression would last long. It is an ironic paradox.
During 75 years after the World War II, history have changed
swiftly. People of today accustomed to the speed of change may be assertive
that the history changes during his life. Eternal peace is laying in front of
that illusion. People in the Middle East is chasing for the dream that a great
leader will appear and receive the laurel from the goddess of peace someday in
the future.
