CAN LIBYA, BAHRAIN, YEMEN AND IRAQ WIN THE FIGHT WITHOUT FOREIGN HELP ?

People power is sweeping across the Arab world. With what has happened in Egypt and Tunisia, Arabs realize that they have it in their power to effect change in their countries. Dictatorships have become vulnerable to attacks from previously fearful citizens. The whole world now witnesses courage and determination never before seen from the Arab world.
But while people from Libya, Bahrain, Yemen and Iraq are determined to continue their fight for democracy, their respective dictators have managed to hold on to power. Despite the huge number of people gathering in major cities, the ouster of corrupt leaders remains elusive for Libya, Bahrain, Yemen and Iraq.
One thing which I think exists for Egypt which still has to exist for Libya, Bahrain, Yemen and Iraq is the strong lobby in the U.S. for these nations. Egyptians in the U.S. to this day continue to hold rallies and marches to demand total freedom and better government for the Egyptian people. A friend of mine in fact organizes events in Washington to push for the demands of the Egyptian people. Whether one admits it or not, the U.S. plays an important role in world politics. The U.S. can effectively put pressure on foreign governments and demand certain actions. When the U.S. speaks, the whole world listens.
Libya is suffering the most as it attempts to topple Gaddafi because Gaddafi does not hesitate to kill protesters to hold on to power. Extreme situations demand extreme actions. Perhaps, it is time for Libya, Bahrain, Yemen and Iraq to ask for help from the Americans to prevent further loss of lives. True nationalism puts the lives of people above everything else.
