Does Mr. Beinart know any ordinary people? Or are all his contacts overachievers, replicas of himself? Fadi Quran is representative of the groundswell of the Arab Spring, an aspiration within the framework of the cultivation of civic republican virtue. Fadi Quran is a wholly admirable person, like millions of others we have seen on Al Jazeera, since January. What I have is a question about the paternalistic rhetorical frame of Mr. Beinart’s article. The Arab Spring does not need our assent or dissent as ‘policy thinkers’ as citizens! Our self-interested policies have produced toxic results , that assertion is beyond reasonable questioning, even for a pillar of ‘Liberal Imperialism’ like Mr. Beinart. The models of leadership of the vanguard of the Arab Spring might just be leaderless: a loose set of agreements arrived at through the brokerage of social media. The Arab Spring is at its beginning and many ‘leaders’ and many models of ‘leadership’ will be created, no matter how diffuse: but the aspiration to freedom from coercive governance and the affirmation of human freedom, realized in respect for one’s self and the rights of one’s fellow citizens; that would appear to be an organic answer to the prophets of violence that opposition to the hegemon has thus far produced.
