It is indeed a tough task which the international leaders are carrying out right now regarding Egypt by being silent. The cry for democracy in the streets of Cairo is intentionally not being heard by all the pro-democratic leaders of the world. It is quite evident that the leaders of the West, especially of US do not seem to have any problem with the dictatorship as long as it cooperates with their policies.
The drama which is unfolding in Egypt right now is a common sight in almost every dictator run country, but what makes it different is that Egypt is a strong ally of USA. The whole world erupted during massacres of Tiananmen Square including the US, why not now? Aren't the protesters in Egypt demanding the same rights as the protesters did in Tiananmen Square? The US has favored an extremely rigged election a few months back in Egypt but when it comes to the election in Palestine, no matter how free and fair the election is, the US would never support the party they dislike and instead would put sanctions on the Palestinians.
