      Frederik Andersson 6/30/2011 “Creditors, Dictators and IMF “Economic Medicine”: Obama and the G8’s Fake Pledge to Egypt A Continuation of Neo-liberal Policies,”

       

      Obama’s much publicized speech on 19th of May

      AND

      of the Egyptian populace is non-existent.

       

      Fortunately, we have this singular opportunity to waive debt and provide unconditional assistance that will snowball internationally in order to ensure success in Egypt’s transition

       

      Fritz Lodge 7/11/2011 “Sustaining Egypt's Revolution: Too Big to Fail,”

       

      Responding to this need, leaders at a

      could well hasten the resurrection of his legacy.

       

      Therefore, we propose the following plan:

       

      Resolved: The United States Federal Government should substantially increase its democracy assistance to Egypt by unconditionally waiving all debt currently held by the United States and by providing direct funding without preconditions to any non-governmental organization in Egypt looking to promote civil society.

      Michelle Astengo and Grace Oh 3/10/2011 “The Future of U.S. Democracy Promotion: Strategies for a Sustainable Fourth Wave of Democratization,”

       

      As of 2004, the U.S

      Akio Matsumura 2/23/2011  “Uprising in Egypt: Why Not Let the Young People Decide Their Own Future?,”

       

      President Obama said “There are very few

      AND

      idea whose time has come.” -Victor Hugo

       

      This obligation must come before all other questions through an infinite expression of openness to the Other. Failure to do so leads to perpetual domination of the Other by the self, through a process of desiring
