They're communist facist liberal conservative jihadist crusaders.

Every single one of them.

Obviously the Koch brothers paid the tea party to start violent rehtoric that spurred Glenn Beck into inciting the violence so that Sarah Palin could lead an American Invasion on the advice of a parody site. On the other side of the street, Soros was printing signs while holding hands with Richard Trumka, both of whom were being aided by Barak Obama who was taking marching orders from Bill Ayers who was whispering from the shadows. In the meantime, Israel is obviously manipulating the US into action while Iran pushes the protesters into action.

Its all in the illuminati playbook.

(Yes, this is a total lampoon)

In all seriousness, the country obviously needs to sort out its problems, but we aren't going to be happy with the end result. Tunisia and Egypt are going to be under sharia law in no time fast with free elections, and what they do with that kind of country has not been very nice in the past. Mubarak is a dictator, what replaces him may be another Islamic Republic that has a deep hatred of the west. The Muslim Brotherhood are reported to have declared Jihad on the US, and they are by far the largest political group, which means they would take any free elections. Having Egypt's military take over, which is option 3, would only be a band aid. Riots would happen again, if not right away, soon enough.

Pretty **** that in this day and age there are still dictatorial governments that want to shut out the freedom of speech that is the internet.

Kinda sucks for all the pre-pubescent Egyptian boys looking for unveiled girl porn.

I wish people would realize that half the media pundits are idiots trying to sell a book. They obviously build up so much suspense, the book is like a cliffhanger. *honk*

Also, 30 years of the same bull **** would make me revolt, too.


Oh right...

Buy my new book, "Politics Cornered - How Obama's Israel is fighting Sarah Palin's Sputnik Moment" in stores this March.

To be fair, we did ally with and support (by financing) their dictatorship government.

I'd reply with some form of witty retort but I live in Israel and don't have the internet. Oh wait.

Yeah I'm aware that he's a puppet, and that we financed him and armed him. Still, their burning hatred goes past us financing him, after all, they believe we are an Israeli puppet state. Also, your image just about nails it on the head.

Burning hatred?

Ha.

Ha.

Oh, excuse the violent rhetoric, I should have said justafiably miffed.

Clashes break out between pro-government and anti-government protesters.

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap...FOsbeQ?docId=551f204a9a014e24ae5b951be8dd8348

Al Jazeera reports that the pro-government protesters are really just policemen dressed in plainclothes (they have footage of a police id taken from a 'pro-government protestor'. Also, many pro-government protesters were riding horses / camels)

Internet appears to be back up. I'm not sure if it's back up for everyone or just some cities in Egypt.

edit: Also, to be fair again, while we aren't an Israeli puppet state, I would say that we are their *****. They say jump and we say how high. They say give them billions of dollars, some nice military jets, and unflinching support and we say sure. The situation between Israel and Palestine alone should be enough for us to distance ourselves from that country. Two examples I can name off the top of my head: Israel's army going door to door and forcefully removing entire neighborhoods of Palestinian families who have lived in those residences for generations. They do this so that Israeli settlers can move in. There was also that whole Israel denying Palestinians water thing. No one in our government seems to care about any of this.

I'm sure the Palestinians have done some horrible things too, but for ****s sake, what Israel is doing is wrong and they need to be stopped, or at least not supported so god damn much.

I'm going to assume that most of the Palestine issues are ineptitude and paranoia, just because I can.

This makes me think that Israel would rather just supply itself with water, then support a secular theocracy that is told to protest against other countries when things don't go well.

You want to know how you stay in power in the Middle East? You blame your neighbor.

I'm of the opinion that both sides need to knock it the **** off.
