Egypt

I replied to hammel's post with something like "As long as the new leader is friendly to America he can do whatever he wants"

Mubarak deleted your post.

 

Mubarak was a friend of America.

If by "was a friend of" you mean "was paid a lot of money by the US to be friends with," then you're correct.

 

Lol people why do you listen to what the news say. The news say different things on the same subject in every country. You might guess what were the news in Nazi Germany for e.g. FORM YOUR OWN OPINION ABOUT THINGS and base it on research. I barely know anything about world politics, so I don`t have a clue what`s happening in Egypt, I confess. That`s a shame for me and I`ll change my bad habit. The bolded above statement still stands though.

Well duh, that's how things work.

 

As I see it, there are three possibilities:

- A new leader who likes everyone, Americans included, who supported the revolution

- A new leader who hates everyone who Mubarak liked, including Americans

- An Islamist dictator, who hates everyone who isn't Muslim

Well, I have to say, is that boils everything down. However, what everyone should be afraid of is extremists. Like the Muslim Brotherhood. They've really done a job on improving their public image, but I think that everyone know their true colors. If it comes down to that, Israel might intervenne.

Sorry about the double post:

Also, it seems that the military might cling to it's power it now holds, so it could become a dictatorship like Saddam Hussein's. Then we fund them. Then we find "evidence" of WMDs, then we invade. "Oh look George, there's no nukes!" Sound familiar?

Because it's their job to report things? In theory, at least.

 

Mubarak steps down: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/12/world/middleeast/12egypt.html?_r=1&hp

rejoice!

I doubt he'd really step down. He probably is being a puppet master... RIGHT NOW! Plus the military likely to takeover permanently.

 

Thanks for reading the news, Hintak.
