There are so many threads and so much breaking news in the ME right now it seems we should keep it in one place to track.

[rarestia]

Biden said there’s nothing to be concerned about, and Clintoon is up there saying that Mubarak should let them protest. Make up your damn minds!

Our leaders, both here and abroad, are quaking in their boots. Popular uprising is coming, and it’s starting in the Mideast.

Hiya SE...I posted thebelow on another thread but I’ll paste here for more thought.

---

I’ve read up a bit on this and just listened to John Bolton, who I respect.

Lookit, I seriously understand that the alternative to Muburak, as it is currently being alleged, would be a more draconian regime called the Muslim Brotherhood.

However....Muburak’s been dictator of Egypt for 19 years now. He hasn’t done the country much good at all.

Maybe it’s the American in me, but I truly believe that all people just want to be free. Humans, no matter the religion, race or creed, want to live their lives, be with and raise their families, pursue their happiness, without some damn dictator/despot running their lives. Yes, I believe this.

Not long ago the poor Iranian people were out rioting as they too wanted freedom from the oppression by those sons of camels who so often take over these countries controlled by that oppressive religion, Islam.

I’m on the side of the Egyptian public on this one. I think a guy that’s been so corrupt, nasty and mean as Muburak for nineteen years, well I think it’s time for him to go.

And never mind, for just a minute here, that America might be better served with Muburak still in charge in that he’s “secular” and friendly with Israel. I don’t like dictators and the thought of being ruled by one for so many years just rubs me wrong.

If these Egyptians are sucessful at throwing over Muburak and they put the Muslim Brotherhood in charge, effectly replacing one form of oppression with another, well then shame the hell on them.

But I can’t get beyond that this Muburak guy’s been around so long and it’s time for him to step down. Who wants to spend their lives dominated by some a**hole whose credentials are what, exactly?

this is hugh and about to become series

Let’s hope this spreads througout the middle east. This is what happens when one follows Obama’s lead and cozies up to Islamic nutjobs and moderates.

If we can see all middle eastern islamic majority countries begin to unravel we can see real chaos for the next several years.

Time for Obama the Messiah to step up and calm the world.

[sunmars]

peaceful protests dont work in the middle east, they get squashed, the protestors get blackbagged and disappear, unfortunately against dictators you have to be violent and typical this all kicks off when we have the biggest pansy ass in the white house ever.

Thanks, Mom....

A “Live Thread” is just what we need - it’s ridiculous to have at least three separate threads started for each ‘breaking development’.....

[pissant]

Good thinking. Pass the popcorn

[ColdOne]

I am glad you posted this thread. This whole thing is freaking me out.

[McGruff]

Good idea. I don't have access to Twitter or TV so this is about the only place I can get my news. Appreciate any tidbits.

Mubarak is about to run like an Egyptian.

[manc]

the muslim brotherhood is involved with these riots and if they take over then it is not good for Israel or us but I see the bozo the clown admin is quick to tell the Govt to stop and yet when those in Iran were up in arms there was crickets.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Seems bozo the clown has no problem with the muslim brotherhood doing riots but does have a problem with those in Iran wanting to get rid of an oppressive muslims Govt

and yet again our corrupt biased propaganda media covers for their messiah again
