The Dominica Prime Minister, along with Denzel Douglas of St. Kitts offered a spirited defense of the beleaguered Libyan leader at a recent CARICOM meeting in St. Kitts.<\/p>\n<p>Freedom and democracy loving Dominicans were appalled to see the photograph of their elected leader among those of Chavez of Venezuela, Robert Mugabi of Zimbabwe and other known\u00a0 world tyrants, representing a rogues gallery of despicable leaders who stood in defiance of the will of the international community. It is if the defiant tyrants were circling the wagons in an effort shore up their crumbling regimes, or least to delay their day of reckoning.<\/p>\n<p>The Arab Spring which began several months ago in Tunisia has spread to a number of countries where tyrants ruled uninterrupted: Egypt, Yemen, Syria, among others.\u00a0 Suddenly a democracy movement swept aside the status quo and ushered in a longing for openness and popular participation in the governing process leading millions of people to the streets to demand their rights and an opportunity to be heard on matters affecting their daily lives.<\/p>\n<p>The imminent end of Qaddafi is a shot across the bow of the remaining despots. Already the proud people of Egypt\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 deposed their leader and put him on trial. The image of an ailing Egyptian despot being wheeled into a courtroom on a hospital bed was powerful enough to rekindle hopes of oppressed peoples all over the globe.<\/p>\n<p>To freedom loving peoples the end of Qaddafi and Mubarak of Egypt, and others who will undoubtedly follow, should mark a transition to a more normal state of affairs between the governing and the governed. The idea that a single leader can abuse his power with impunity and governs without regard to democratic principles and the rule of law is anathema in this twenty first century.<\/p>\n<p>Those who seek to do so, as events in Egypt and Libya have demonstrated, will do so at their own peril. They may delay their day of reckoning for a while but not indefinitely. The forces of change cannot be arrested through bullets and attempts at annihilation. This is the option being pursued in Syria where its president is in open defiance of the popular will. It is hard to imagine how he can have a different outcome from the one experienced by Mubarak, and now, Qaddafi.<\/p>\n<p>The old saying that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it should hold considerable relevance for Roosevelt Skerrit . This is a man who is devoid of any overarching political philosophy or ideology. His core beliefs seem grounded in an insane desire to rule indefinitely at any cost. And to that end he has created a political infrastructure consisting of like-minded, self-centered camp followers who have made a deliberate calculation that their survival is inextricably tied to the fate of their corrupt leader. We shall see if history will carve out an exception for them so that their corrupt practices will survive the test of time. If I were in their shoes I would not be holding my breath.<\/p>\n<p>As I contemplate the fate of Mubarak and Qaddafi I cannot avoid recalling the words of a famous eighteenth century German chancellor, Otto Von Bismarck, who opined: \u201cThe river of history flows as it will, and if I put my hand in it, it is because I consider it my duty, not because I think I can change its course\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It may well be that some of the remaining despots actually believe that they can determine the course of history. They may be oblivious of the verity spoken by the great Martin Luther King who observed that \u201cthe arch of the moral universe is long, but it tilts towards justice\u201d.\u00a0 But in the end all the mighty and those who foolishly believe that they are beyond the forces of history will be held accountable and the longer their reign, the greater the celebration will be.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Opinions expressed in this article does not necessarily reflect those of Dominica News Online<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The long, forty two year old nightmare of Colonel Qaddafi\u2019s brutal and chaotic rule appears to be coming to an end in Libya as rebel forces seeking his removal finally entered Tripoli last night amidst widespread jubilation and hope of&#8230;","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":42349,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42348","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-commentary"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
