Think about this — if states are supposed to protect their citizens, then why has recent history seen a spate of revolutions against the state?
States are imperfect, we know that, take for an example, the Philippines. Some things, they just could not handle, more importantly protecting the rights of their citizens. Some politicians are either too busy draining the economy and its reserves or too busy looking good for the next election. This failure of the state adds to its inefficiency and legitimacy which makes revolutions against the ineffective state inevitable. States do not listen to the population, thus, people resort to demonstrations to address their concerns. Media as a tool for addressing the population's concerns has been the most powerful of all.

Egypt's Future
With the oust of Mubarak from the presidency, Egypt moves on from dictatorship to democracy. The right to vote is finally exercised and elections are held in an orderly manner. The elected officials then address the population's concerns, improve their human rights record, reform their laws and make it convenient to the people, and improve the economy. The people must be patient for the change they wish for it is not hurried. With the help of the other states and international organizations, Egypt will flourish. Tourism might be the economic driver which would make Egypt a stable state.
Mission 4 Accomplished
