Theocracies never work. Look at the Arab Spring.
When I think of a theocracy, I think of Saudi Arabia or Iran. I hope the Arab Spring arrives in those countries, someday.
The one place where the uprisings have been successful is Egypt, which was actually a secular nation to begin with. It looks like the military and the Muslim Brotherhood are taking over, so it's not truly successful. Not yet. I mean, they might rise up against the new dictatorial leasers.
Finally, the arab areas of the world are starting to realize who their true enemies are--their selfish, greedy, cruel, and power-hungry leaders. NOT Israel or the US.
Good luck to them. I just wish they could use Gandhi's tactics to achieve their goals. That would mean never fighting back when the soldiers or cops attack the protesters. I haven't heard much of that happening, yet. It would take a LOT of almost superhuman courage to let yourself be attacked for peacefully protesting against your nations' regime, but that is what a great leader is good for.
I keep hoping that someone like Dr King steps forward and starts focusing the movements. FOr it to happen, people would have to finally give-up on the suicide bombings, which should be too easy to do owing to the fact that such methods accomplish nothing for anybody.
