"He is a bastard, but he is our bastard!". Under this cynical slogan was designed more than 30 years, the Western foreign policy towards the Arab world. The German foreign policy and development assistance and that all party lines. Warnings such as cultural space experts believe that this logic has already failed in Latin America, have been ignored with a shrug.
The direct benefit most from this Western ignorance, the 'bastards', sleep these days certainly pretty bad. However, the indirect beneficiaries of the Arab dictatorships, Islamist extremists act, paralyzed in the face of citizen protests. According to the understanding of the West, but also in its self-understanding of the Islamist, this saw as the logical, indeed the only viable, alternative to the corrupt dictators of the region.
This view of the Arab world now seems to resolve within a few days. The otherwise joyous release Al-Qaeda and their literate Leader Osama Bin Laden silent shocked and confused. The whole Arab world is outraged, rises, is that no one seems to have been waiting in turmoil, but it's them on.
accomplish this, thank the Arabs and the West apologize for its bias that so many people lost life and liberty. He should do so in their own best interests. The Arab Spring has been not a triumph of extremist Islamism. This is of course not. The West can and must now do its part to ensure that perpetuated this positive development. Without humility, comprehensive concrete offers of help and a deep political paradigm shift is not possible be. Perhaps arises from this process a new "realpolitik" that is less cynical and inhuman, however, the currently emerging new Arab realities into account.
