I really am starting to think they need to just carpet bomb this entire section of the world. I wouldn't miss them. I think the world would be a better place.

Things are getting uglier tonight...some reports say the Mubarak supporters are being paid to incite violence...hmmmm...

State Department is telling Americans to get out and I noticed the Admin has ratcheted up it's rhetoric throughout the day.

I saw a report yesterday that said one second they were throwing rocks and stones breaking peoples heads open then the next they were hugging and kissing.

WTF

Keep throwing rocks. They'll have social security, free health insurance and a big stimulus soon.

What drives me crazy is the lack of the President's support for the people
in the recent uprising in Iran, where Ahmadinejad is close to
having nuclear weapons, supports terrorism against us, and
vows to destroy Israel.

Then when it comes to Egypt and Mubarak, our ally, a stable influence in the region, our President supports the people's uprising within a few days.
OK if it ends in a pro American democratic election, but a tragedy if the WB becomes a part of the government and has a say in the direction of the country.
Time will tell.

This is a bit more complicated than rooting at a Pats game. There's a lot of US meddling in their affairs over the years and generally speaking not a lot of trust in the US.

I think Obama has done a good job of voicing support for the Democratic institutions and walking a very find line to not make the US look like flaming hypocrites. We won't know for a while the full story of what's been done behind the scenes, but first look says this could end up being a very positive change.

What's perhaps most important is that one of the largest Islamic nations has led a completely peaceful coup. The precedent this sets is...we'll...perhaps unprecedented.

ANDERSON Cooper should of realized
that his life was in eminent danger

Sure ...you have to be on the edge of the volcano
to see the molten Lava but don't be there when it erupts.

these people are running around shoe less after bottles were
smashed everywhere , so they're obviously going insane.

some coincidences are odd...arent they?

William Jefferson Clinton....

Barack Hussein Obama....

(Mu)barak (Saddam) Hussein O(s)ama Binladen


OBAMA/BIDEN.....Hope&Change

O(s)ama/Bi(nla)den


weird probably just coincidence

I wonder what ever happened to the people who said that these "types" weren't ready for democracy...that the elections in Iraq would never take place and that for all of his faults, we would have been better leaving a dictator in place because that was the only practical way to keep the various factions in check...these protests may have started as "educated student protests" but these students are highly radicalized in their schools...there is the very real possibility that the new order is far more dangerous and radical than the old...sort of like Iran way back when, I wonder when the executions will begin?...infact, the parallels are striking...if you judge an administration...Carter, Clinton, Obama by how dangerous the world becomes and how empowered foreign aggressors become under their watch...the dems come out WAY UP on top... I guess they are good at something...

IT's getting clearer ever day that Obama is clueless. CIA a total lack of what's going on. Sound familier???

[scottw]

not going to be pretty....

Obama, Panetta and Clapper...= Larry, Mo, Curly

hey, just looking at the protesters signs it is very apparent that Egypt has a much higher English language functional literacy rate than Detroit, Michigan

Hosni should find a Giant gavel and march right through the protesters like Pelosi did with her gang of thugs and see how things turn out ...I mean, these peaceful, educated Egyptian student protesters are far more civil that the evil, ignorant Tea Party types

[spence]

Seems like you're talking about violence in opposition to the protests.

The military didn't seem to think it was that violent, hell, they just sat on their tanks. Even when it looks like Mubarak might have tried to provoke a violent response the people stayed pretty calm.

Perhaps you're just upset that a big group of Muslims aren't acting like the stereotype you want them to? Hmmmm...

you said "one of the largest Islamic nations has led a completely peaceful coup" ...not accurate...that's all...insinuate what you want....

Mubarak didn't step down because of violence, it was because the people showed their strength through non-violent means. This is precisely why this event is so dramatic.

I didn't say that he did, but you should google egypt protests and click images and then come back and tell me that it was ...

"a completely peaceful coup....and....non-violent means"

I think you're just a little frustrated BO will take credit for this

[buckman]

I agree. For the most part, a peaceful protest that appears to be working. Maybe GB was right all along!!!

[Raven]

you also left out how many people were arrested and tortured who PAID an ultimate price for the rebellion .........

peaceful HOW?
because they were denied guns and only had stones

they even threw their shoes while running around on broken bottles
most of which were from Molotov cocktails

[spence]

More fear mongering, you almost sound like you're trying to justify another invasion. Egypt isn't Iran, not even close.

Note: There are thousands of volunteers in Tahrir Square today cleaning up the mess. Hell, you can't even get that kind of goodwill at a Fish concert.
