Song of the Week, 2011-006 - Uprising, by Muse

This week's "Song of the Week" is sepcially dedicated to the people of Egypt. It is Uprising by Muse.

It is oversimplifing to say that it is the victory of the people. Revolution like this, is mostly a combination of forces by different parties, the Egyptian military and US government are probably involved directly and indirectly.

However the people is always as important as any other parties, without the uprising of the people, the military will no legitimate reason to support their action; without the uprising of the people, US government will not give up a single chance to gain any upper hand in the middle east.

So I do not agree with some people who suggested the revolution in Egypt is a military coup, yes, the military is indeed a decisive factor, in fact it is always a decisive factor in all major revolution. Force is always vital. Yet people's will should be given credit even if not as vital.

I wonder when will the people of a certain country wake up, or they just want to get lost in their illusion of an economic triumph.
