Bobby Ghosh said that US does not have a policy to deal with current happenings in Middle East or something like that. It appears to me that there is and there has always been. It is reflected in the language 'to be on the right side of history' used again and again. It is a short term policy to be a winner / gainer.... It was well publicized in 1960's in the book 'Ugly American'

I was thinking the other day what part shame or guilt may have played in Egypt. Well-educated young people, as much as ordinary men and women whose businesses were being victimized, attempted to shame their rulers and apparently succeeded, altho the increasing economic paralysis must have been involved. But can you imagine any American president leaving under such circumstances? The old "inner-directed" man had a conscience, as well as a dignity jealous of his independence, but he lived for others, and outside himself, no matter how autocratic he might seem, so he could be shamed by the community. On the other hand, today's "other-directed" personality, despite being constantly aware of acceptance, lives only for himself, is shameless, and without conscience. Psychoanalysts still employ the idea of shame in this regard, but call it deep shame, but whatever, they are different.
