make investments and provide economic opportunities for the
region’s youth, while technology companies interested in new
markets could partner with anticorruption groups to aid political
mobilization and increase government accountability and
transparency. Hollywood and Bollywood writers and producers
should lionize the democratic heroes who took to the streets to
challenge the orthodoxy of fear.
A focused campaign to shape the course of reform would align our
values and interests with the aspirations of the protesters. More
important, it would answer the challenge from Al Qaeda to define
what happens next and reframe the tired narratives of the past.
In 2005, Mr. Zawahri anticipated this battle for reform and noted that
“demonstrations and speaking out in the streets” would not be
sufficient to achieve freedom in the Muslim world. If we help the
protesters succeed, it will not only serve long-term national security
interests but also mark the beginning of the end of Al Qaeda.
Juan C. Zarate, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and
International Studies, was the deputy national security adviser for
combating terrorism from 2005 to 2009.
