Middle East Mania.

Middle East in on the brink of collapse. Almost all the governments are on sticky wicket. When they fall like pack of cards is still not known.

Atleast after 65 years of World War II, the people in Middle East are waking up and demanding their democratic rights. Far too long, they have been treated like cattle's. The up rise is very easily understandable. Despite the oil wealth ,the middle east has not seen the kind of economic comfort of the common man. The oil wealth has been limited to the hands of few and for the general public, life is still a struggle for survival.

Anycase, change is more then welcome and I salute each single soul, who has left his house and joined the crowd to protest against decades of misgoverning without caring for his life.

My only and biggest worry is that it should not result into moving from Frying Pan To Fire. We had seen change in Iran, when the Shah was overthrown and we already see, what is the result. We had seen change in Iraq, where Saddam was overthrown and we see, what a mess it is. And this is what worries me most.

There are no proper Good Governance Models, which can be immediately implemented. The flux can only mean gain for some unscrupulous elements unless Good Governance is well defined and taken over by the new leaders.

Besides the Defense support, which each of these countries might finally need to get rid of their autocratic rulers, the most important support they would need from UN is the Good Governance Models, which they can quickly action it. Otherwise, their situation will be no different from the Ugly corruption and backwardness and bureaucracy of countries, which though are democratic, yet are riddled with screwing their own people.

UN in the coarse of last 65 years has not made one single documents, which defines Good Governance and can be a model which a country could embrace for its progressive outlook. This is the reason I have been critical with UN earlier. Most UN employees, just have a holiday job and enjoy their plum postings and get retired.

UN has a very big job cut out now. If it misses this time, then it will do a great disservice to all the people who are fighting it out for a Brand New Future.
