Elbaradei has already given HIS ultimatum that Mabarac be out by Friday.
Egypt, s, was not and is not "ours" to lose. Your comment is an example of the worst sort of American chauvinism.
This a live feed and is a dubious source but it is live and real..

America will be okay. Israel will be okay. God is showing his might and words in his book. Please, do not worry.
Yes...I’m sure this was “unexpected”
Now there's a brilliant idea, overt American military intervention in an Egyptian revolution! Maybe we could create another Somalia and a few million more Mohammedans could flood into America as "refugees". /s
Likely Mabaric will step down if this isn’t brought under control soon....and Ol El-Baradei will try to step in fast...with the Muslim Brotherhood and iran supporting him 100%.
The MB is poised to become the “transitional” team after Mubarak is gone. (Iran/Alkaida theocracy here we come.)
Its being covered “live” now by FoxNews. I wonder how many of the pro-Mubarak forces are the police who are now dressed up as civillians.
lots, they are just letting them in now to fight.
Murbarak chucking down his last gambit.
Well, I was more referring to the issue with some personal relations in that context. I am mentally and emotionally ready for the GLOBAL implications. At least, as mentally and emotionally ready as one can be. God’s got it covered.
It’s how to handle personal issues that baffles me.
Pretty stupid, eh?!
"Now, it seems it has been lost to the backward Islamist movement."
Says who? Not the Egyptians I know, though they are all Copts and Orthodox. Maybe they are ignorant of Egyptian history too, not being Americans and all.
It’s a stretch to blame Barry too much for this. It’s hubris to think that everything that goes on in the world is the fault of the USA. We had little choice but to support Murabak. But Egypt is its own country and this revolt has been brewing ever since Sadat signed the peace treaty. The idea that code Pink or Bill Ayers or any other bunch of ridiculous academic losers is behind this is nuts.
This is O’s inspiration?
It’s Islam. Protests are just foreplay until the real fun starts.
I have, however, made a few stands with people. Particularly back in 2008... I had a longtime friend accuse me of being a racist because I didn't support Obama. I gave him the long lecture, then realized it was pointless and told him that if he honestly believed I was a racist, then we could no longer be friends. When that happened, he suddenly realized, "Wow, she's taking this seriously..." See, a lot of them are treating this as almost a sports team fanaticism. When you do give them the big heave ho, they suddenly realize, "Whoa... all this over politics?" Yes. It is that important. When you stand your ground and have good reason, it often makes them rethink things. If they don't, then... there's your answer. I realized a while back that politics are important because they represent your value system. And that's something you should never compromise for the sake of a "friendship" that probably isn't even worth it.
Politics is human relationships writ large.
Some mindsets you’ll never change, Obots is one of them, islamists are another, you’ll never get them to see your point of view no matter how plain and easily you explain it.

The "pro-Mubarak" crew will try to intimidate the "Anti's" to reduce their number. When MUbarak's people have scared some of the weak-kneed protestors away, they won't be as outnumbered as they are today...then they will really start to crack heads.
Yes, but does Katie Couric find any good sitcom material in any of this?
