And I thought you'd be tickled to see I wrote something just because I knew it would go right up your ass :hihi:

I forgot I was supposed to be ignoring you.

I'm not so sure...

The peace deal lasted 30 years, largely because the Egyptian military didn't have any reason to break it. It's largely secular, and to incite unrest or ignore radicalism means they loose their money for bread and milk.

Unless the power shifted dramatically to the right, which isn't likely to happen to quickly, why would the military have any motive to not continue to cooperate?

It's also possible that this event will actually move parts of the Muslim Brotherhood towards the middle as they try to gain legitimacy as a viable political entity by distancing themselves from the more fundamental movements they actually helped spawn.

:rotf2:

Hahaha - well, I suppose it is possible. And while the MB *might* move a little more docile, many will splinter off and go more radical. So while the name may move more center many of the participants may become more radical.

I am crossing my fingers that this moves more real democracy in Egypt but this is the middle east. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

more likely pretend to move to the middle(ala Obama) to gain legitimacy as a viable political entity and/while empowering/entrenching the more fundamental movements they helped spawn.....

To this day, the Brotherhood’s motto remains, “Allah is our objective, the Prophet is our leader, the Koran is our law, Jihad is our way, and dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope. Allahu akbar!”

McCarthy does a very thorough job reminding us who the "Brotherhood" actually is

I saw a report yesterday that said one second they were throwing rocks and stones breaking peoples heads open then the next they were hugging and kissing.

WTF :smash:

Keep throwing rocks. They'll have social security, free health insurance and a big stimulus soon.

weird:confused: probably just coincidence

I wonder what ever happened to the people who said that these "types" weren't ready for democracy...that the elections in Iraq would never take place and that for all of his faults, we would have been better leaving a dictator in place because that was the only practical way to keep the various factions in check...these protests may have started as "educated student protests" but these students are highly radicalized in their schools...there is the very real possibility that the new order is far more dangerous and radical than the old...sort of like Iran way back when, I wonder when the executions will begin?...infact, the parallels are striking...if you judge an administration...Carter, Clinton, Obama by how dangerous the world becomes and how empowered foreign aggressors become under their watch...the dems come out WAY UP on top... I guess they are good at something...:uhuh:

IT's getting clearer ever day that Obama is clueless. CIA a total lack of what's going on. Sound familier???

scottw 02-11-2011 09:19 AM

not going to be pretty....

Obama, Panetta and Clapper...= Larry, Mo, Curly:uhuh:

hey, just looking at the protesters signs it is very apparent that Egypt has a much higher English language functional literacy rate than Detroit, Michigan

Hosni should find a Giant gavel and march right through the protesters like Pelosi did with her gang of thugs and see how things turn out :rotf2:...I mean, these peaceful, educated Egyptian student protesters are far more civil that the evil, ignorant Tea Party types :uhuh:

What drives me crazy is the lack of the President's support for the people
in the recent uprising in Iran, where Ahmadinejad is close to
having nuclear weapons, supports terrorism against us, and
vows to destroy Israel.

Then when it comes to Egypt and Mubarak, our ally, a stable influence in the region, our President supports the people's uprising within a few days.
OK if it ends in a pro American democratic election, but a tragedy if the WB becomes a part of the government and has a say in the direction of the country.
Time will tell.

This is a bit more complicated than rooting at a Pats game. There's a lot of US meddling in their affairs over the years and generally speaking not a lot of trust in the US.

I think Obama has done a good job of voicing support for the Democratic institutions and walking a very find line to not make the US look like flaming hypocrites. We won't know for a while the full story of what's been done behind the scenes, but first look says this could end up being a very positive change.

What's perhaps most important is that one of the largest Islamic nations has led a completely peaceful coup. The precedent this sets is...we'll...perhaps unprecedented.
