"Apres moi, le deluge"
For 30 years since, Hosni Mubarakhas tried to advance his country in the direction Sadat pointed, while fully aware that he was straddling a volcano. Those who judge Mubarak by the standards of western constitutional democracies must tinge every observation of Egypt with fantasy. --davidwarrenonline.com - NEWSPAPER COLUMNS

Your Say
From Spengler. Mrs. Mubarak campaigns against female genital mutilation but 90% of women suffer this. And "It wasn't the financial crisis that undermined dysfunctional Arab states, but Asian prosperity. The Arab poor have been priced out of world markets. There is no solution to Egypt's problems within the horizon of popular expectations. Whether the regime survives or a new one replaces it, the outcome will be a disaster of, well, biblical proportions. " Because the Chinese rich will pay anything for wheat.
And, Sandmonkey says they were chanting "Muslim, Christian, Jew....We Don't Care."
Hmm!

If the Egyptians fight their way into a gov't of Muslim Brotherhood that should fairly remove any sympathy for their desert-dwelling carcasses. The Middle East is not broken, and has been broken, for all these decades because they keep choosing well. This is another bad choice and we must not give them a break. Our enemies use our irrational desire for mercy against us.
They don't care about Muslims, and we should not save them from themselves.
