The? Arabs already believed to U.S.


(This article has been published in the newspaper Ultima Hora, Palma de Mallorca, THE VOICE OF ALMER? A, Journal of Tarragona and a dozen other Spanish newspapers)

Julian Assange has been the inspiration behind the riots in the Arab countries, of course, but the Wikileaks site itself has had to do, and much, over time and with the forms of the revolutionary movement.

Until a few weeks, as it were, any criticism of the satrapies that countries only bad government was interpreted as a false and odious imperialist propaganda. The good thing about Wikileaks has been revealing something that American diplomacy kept for internal use only, which has given him absolute credibility.

Due to leakage of this information, the subjects of corrupt regimes from the Maghreb to the Persian Gulf have been aware of the systematic pillaging by the wife of Ben Ali in Tunisia, the fortunes abroad Mubarak Egyptian or delusional waste of Gaddafi's sons.

And not only have thought they no longer want it anymore.

Many young Arabs like those of other countries mired in poverty and repression, despite the widespread anti USA propaganda sneakers fit the same as their colleagues in the Bronx, imitate their behavior, and music clips are identical as they use Facebook and other social networks.

This socialization of global world, the danger of contagion of freedom, is what disturbs all dictatorships, from Cuba to Beijing, through histrionic characters like Hugo Chavez.

And is that once people have discovered democracy, with all its difficulties and imperfections, no longer want to live without it.
