Egypt unrest

[kronus]

Hope not for the people of Egypt. Israel is being backed into a corner like a trapped dog. Israel has the ability to erase all their threat in a heartbeat and would love nothing more than to remove that threat.

That will start a world war.

This is the real fear. Good thing that majority of Egypt isn't as radical as the brotherhood even though they may hate Israel.

All Egyptians are not all paid members of the Muslim Brotherhood Club. Some are Christians, some are Jewish, and most are Muslims, but not necessarely from the MBC. Therefore, fear of an instant war with Israel is not founded. But knowing that Egypt is no more an unconditional allied will perhaps force Israel to rethink its policies of expansionism.

Just sayin'

History will repeat itself if they think they are going to win that battle...

Hey guys.

If you want the real situation in Egypt, then watch Al Jazeera or Al Arabyia.

Free internet TV. Arab news in English and Arab. But be carefull, that might not be Fox "truth".

Al Jazeera - in english

But it couldn't be worst. Allow the people reestablish the democratic process and let them decide for themselve. If they want a religious or non-religious government, then be it. Their choice.

That would be just dandy but what usually goes on is someone takes control. Just because it's not the same dictator the people leave it alone (all seems fine)...to only find out they have another dictator in charge. I see this happening here.

that is the biggest problem.

Hillary Clinton has come out in support of the anti-Mubarek protesters.

While I am inclined to agree with any group that wants to overthrow a dictator, there is no telling who would be put into power should Mubarek be deposed. It could very well end up like Iran did in 1979 with one dictator being replaced by another dictator.

Hillary Clinton is not Obama.

The potential for another dictator is a legitimate fear, as is potential usurping of the cause by the Muslim Brotherhood. However, I don't think "not overthrowing the current dictator" is a good solution for that potential problem.

You fail at reality. Neither Obama nor anyone in the administration has come out in support of the protesters or Mubarak, they have simply advocated a position of wanting non-violence from both sides and reforms to make the government more accountable to the people.

Also last time I checked Obama was president of the US, not the whole world.

And yes, this most certainly is a populist uprising. I would think the 100,000+ people in the streets every day, even without a clear leader, would have proved that to anyone with even a shadow of intelligence.

wtf? obama has no clue what it means to be the leader of the free world

You are 50 years too late...

[CorvallisBMW]

you know whats sad

we don't know if this is really a popular uprising or not, yet
but that didn't stop obama from coming out in favor of the muslim brotherhood gangsta's

but when there was an actual popular uprising in iran, that would have rid the world of actual terrorist leaders, obama said it was not wise to meddle
