Importance of street sweepers

Egyptian revolution can change the world, this is what nearly everyone already knows> Egypt is an important country, both to the region and to the world, but its importance is not just geostrategically. What Egyptians are now doing, though I believe they do not even think about it now, is fighting western colonialism in the form of globalization, as they fight exploitation of so called developing countries by those who are developed already, they fight all those negative stereotypes which are willingly believed in the West and they fight racist assumption that are wide-spread through Europe and America (oh, yeah, I know it is not politically correct to talk about it, but me being white I know what other white people say...... and that grieves me a lot).
Europe and USA still have a huge problem with accepting independence of countries in Asia, Africa and South America, we still try to interfere, justifying it with protecting our interests. But... what about about the interests of Arabs, Latinos (heard those "jokes" on "Top Gear" about Mexicans? ), Indians, Black People of Africa etc? Because protecting our interest means that someone is loosing out a great deal. Like USA and UK protected the interest of their companies in Iraq, I do not believe that most of Iraqis are very happy with what happened, and this is just one example.
problem is that none of the western governments is going to accept independence of those countries just on the moral ground, they have mouths full of freedom and liberties, but what they actually do is protecting the interest of global companies, as they ALWAYS did. And they do not even talk on the behalf of the people of Europe and USA, as we never had any benefit of exploitation Africa, Asia or South America.
Hopefully we are witnessing another breach is New World Order, another blow to the system designed to enrich rich and enslave all the others.
Many so called experts claim that there is a danger of turning Egypt in some sort of theocratic dictatorship, but they do not give us any proofs of such assumption, they cannot give us any proofs, because from leaders and thinkers of Muslim Brotherhood say you just cannot draw such an idea, so they just made it up, exactly as they made up Massive Destruction Weapons in Iraq. Muslim Brotherhood is not any more radical that Tea Party (ever heard or read Sarah Palin? she's much worst than Tariq Ramadan in my opinion).
Of course, any government that will emerge in Egypt will face a very hard task of fulfil people's demands, and people are not very patient (though Egyptian might be different ;) ), but this revolution gives them a huge chance of improving their lives from a street sweeper to an university lecturer, because society does not only consist of businessmen.
