Authority's illiteracy and people's education.
Published in Alriyadh on 22 - 06 - 2011

The age of "Yes Sir" has ended because of the public's conscious that surpassed the plans and ideologies of the authority. Hussni Mubarak has already talked during the revolution that there is no handing down, Ibn Ali addressed his people with the "I understand you" word, and Ali Abdulla Saleh discharged himself from all the accusations that followed him. Depending on the quick views that we get and the reaction of the public to it I get attracted to what President Bashar AL Asad will say and what will flip the table on his enemies with the drastic procedures, meaning that having speeches that are filled with promises rather than practical actions has flipped the whole picture with a general big disappointment.
The people went out challenging to continue his protests and Turkey didn't dramatize but wanted a real action. The west said that it is important to start the actions before speeches, meaning that the optimist thought that there will be practical decisions and that he'll remove those who created the problem even if they are the close ones, but the flow of the events is seeming different to the extinct that the trust in the authority and its surroundings has shrank.
It was supposed that the rebellious public is acknowledged, because there was no conspiracy from presumed enemies that do not really exist. The public was supposed to know the corruptions, abuses of rules and monopoly of authority so that the speech will have its influence, but what happened was different for the simplest one of those that waited for a real change that protect the authority and provides the people with his rights that the revolution is calling for.
The change committees, national dialogue, one party government and constitution fixing being disproved with the same excuses, and the issue now is more than using force or seeking the support of an external power in front of the people that gave up their dictator government's theories for specific needs that cant be fragmented or given up. Bashar was supposed to communicate socially since he's still the same age as the youth to be in the same line of interests and understanding and not relying on the classical mastering of speeches and waiting for it to influence the society that lives in reality and not fantasy. He also needed to identify the problem then using his tools as a Doctor, but it seems that his vision was vague in his fragmented solutions that are subject to government routines.
The challenges are big and not limited to simple reforms because what happened in the Arab countries was supposed to be an example for the Syrian government and to see that what happened is not an act of chance or externally stimulated but rather a natural result of the cumulative abuses that existed since tens of years. The public thought is starting to recognize the change necessities, but to go out of the tradition by using force and the authority's media, or those that go on TV to justify the realities that a lot of wanted and imprisoned people are falsifying along with the poverty and employment rates among youth are the fuel that drives the revolution.
The internal protests along with international public opinion that support it and the external economic and political pressures are factors that can't be stood by any country of the 3rd world, and Syria is among the countries that can't take the consequences of the successive crises.
