I believe that the government is wrong in all ways such as corruption... and that its in the rights of the citizens to revolt against them... as for the protesters it is a prime example in which rrepresents the defence of the rights of citizens.

I believe the government is completely at fault here. They have kept then in poor living conditions, and with a lack of jobs. People can only do so much with very little supplied. I mean look at Tunisia, many of the protests started with unemployed collage students, or with anger towards to the Presidents great life style.
I think that the government is at fault here. The citizens are simply standing up for their rights as a person.
I believe the Middle Eastern government is wrong in this conflict as they are resisting change which I think during our time is inevitable. The use of the internet has spread ideas to many places around the world and the Middle Eastern protesters have taken up our ideas of a democracy and want a change in their nation. Starting off with the president stepping down in Egypt, this idea of a democratic government is spreading across the nation in which more countries are protesting for what they consider to be right. Regardless of how much resistance some governments are giving, there is more support towards the citizens and protesters in which I believe it is only a matter of time regardless of how long until there is government reform in all of the Middle Eastern countries.
The governement is completely at fault. They are corrupt, they steal from their people and keep them living in opression and fear. The people are not supposed to be afraid of their governement, the government is supposed to be afraid of their people. The protestors are fighting for their freedom, they just want an end to the injustices that are being done to them.
The middle eastern goverment is at fault, because they are living in luxury and have billions of dollars, but people in their countries are starving and really poor. They are not fulfilling their responsibilities toward their people. But when the people are trying to speak out against them, the goverment just kill the people, because they're speaking out for their rights. So it's about time, the citizens of the middle east realize the injustice in their society.
the government in north america is only trying to help in order to maintain a good relationship,the us wishes to keep transporting oil through the waters by egypt, and the people in egypt are right, they are the ones who have to suffer and put up with the government, why should they suffer for one mans greed,the government of egypt was right for a short while, but as teh world changes so must its nations,and when a nation doesnt change,its people get angry
I think the government is completely in the wrong. Each individual person has rights and are allowed to express them. The government takes that right away from a lot of citizens and its not right.
i agree completley with fortinj the people can only go so far if the government doesent act as it should.
because of the corruption the government had it caused many people to suffer. They didnt bring it upon themselves because they had no say in the matter

I agree with your statement. The people can only take so much before a revolt becomes inevitable. The one that happened in Egypt one month ago was such an example, and this is no different
@Hardtl
I do agree with you fully, but its not just the government in the middle east that is corrupted I believe that every government in the world has some corruption in some shape or form, whether if a government is opressing on a counrty or even if a government is supporting a country by benefits but at the same time, manipulating the minds of citezens INTO corruption.
I believe that the Middle Eastern governments are in the wrong. They do not allow their citizens basic human rights and privileges that they should have because they are human. These governments are corrupt and must change for the sake of the people. The problem is that their concern is not for the people, but for themselves.
The government is 100% at fault here because the people are standing up for what they believe. If the government just listened to the people of the country than these countries wouldn't have such intense problems. Without these corrupted governments, the problems in the Middle East don't happen, or at least a majority of them don't. As long as government listens to the peoples concerns about the country and the world around them, than a country will be more powerful as a whole
