yup...state controlled press...and then the newspapers in the US insist that the US is unpopular because it’s Bush’s fault, not because people read only propaganda...

“Both Pat Buchanon (sic) and Al here need to be kicked where they should feel it for calling the U.S an empire.”

Are you aware that Pat Buchanan wrote a book on this subject?

Titled “A Republic, Not an Empire,” it is a refutation of the claim of Mr. El-Amir, and other historical ignoramuses.

Are there any Egyptians alive today who don’t view the world through the filter of islamic insanity?

Probably most of the small Coptic minority (The Christian descendants of the ancient Egyptians).

time for us all to wring our hands over the terrible situation around the world that is our horribly unpopular status as a nation.

Let me see. This buttplug says that 160 years of the USA has provided NOTHING to the world. Okay, let’s see you fix THAT one Obama? You wanna end the war, fine. But how are you going to convince this terrorist supporter that the other 155 years of our existence (apparently, he only knows of 160 years of US existence but you think there are 57 states so you can’t exactly mock him) where a benefit to him or the planet??? Hmmm??? And then maybe you libs can admit that we are unpopular not because of our foreign policy but because of ‘journalists’ in foreign countries who envy us BIG TIME!!! You can’t fix envy with appeasement.

Yes, good point. I hadn’t thought about them. But, of course, they’re not muslims...surprise, surprise.

It sounds like these people are our enemies. Shouldn’t we be adding them to the targeting schedule?

ROFL. The first few sentences are so obviously written by a psychotic that I have no need to read further.

If you’re curious to know how the U.S. is viewed by our friends in Egypt, here’s a nice piece for you.

If you’re curious to know how the U.S. is viewed by the government in Egypt, here’s a nice piece for you...fixed. The people when I was visiting Cairo on vacation were outstanding and very friendly.

It is a global axiom that if one lacks talent yet craves attention in any profession—attack America.

There are always enough leftists to give even the most pathetic pissant “proggresive” success.

If Mr. El Amir really believes this, it might behoove him to think upon it and modify his rhetoric lest we direct some of our attention his way.

the United States will go down as one of the most aggressive and least inspiring.

I guess if you are an Islamo fascist and or your allegiance is with them you may have this point of view. What a tool. For all our wrongs, we still have liberated so many. Freedom, the enemy of radical Islam.

You’re right. I went to YouTube and checked. Pat does draw an analogy between the collapse of the British Empire and an American “empire.” I don’t agree, but he does make the comparison.

Stop. You sound like the MSM...I have no intention of prefacing every comment on FR with disclaimers. Obviously not everyone in Egypt feel this way...which is why I said our “friends,” which is obvious sarcasm. I've been to Egypt too.
