Fox News is like inhaling a sammy popcorn fart. You're not sure what it was, but you feel it ain't right.

I already knew that without watching TV from looking at Al Jazeera's website.

And stupid, considering that Israel doesn't have a dictator.

Let's go to enlightened Europe instead - Belarussia.

You know, since it's a dictatorship and all.

Now is a good time for us to reflect on why Egyptians are rejoicing in the streets yelling 'We are free', from a dictator to whom our government has given over $2 billion annually since 1979.

a pertinent question

So what should The United States have done?

1. Overthrown Mabarak when he took over?

2. Stood by and watched while several additional wars took place against Israel?

I don't see any other options. Do you?

3. Not gotten deeply involved in irrational middle east politics decades ago and instead served as a living example of freedom for the people in these shitholes to have something to strive for via revolution.

PPS, a little late for that.

What is your solution now for today's world. Should we continue the status quo with the new government or leave the Muslims to exercise their will?


BTW, your 3. is the same as my 2.

If Carter had not agreed to pay them to not start more wars, there may very well have been more wars.

egypt is filled with good people at all levels..

good [ex]dictator friend of usa..
good democrats protesting..
good military friends of other good egyptians..

so being good people.. egyptians either dont start wars with israel..

or else fight wars vs israel for good reasons..if war vs israel for good reasons maybe egyptians liberate palestinians from oppression and stop israel attacking lebanon and behaving as rogue state etc..

wd, I see you have absolutely no idea what is going on in the middle east.

You have a nice day.

HR...so when facing the reality that we have propped up and funded tyrannical anti-freedom regimes for decades, your answer is that we must do more of the same - even if it means future economic troubles and future 9/11s - or else Israel might have to fight a war.

Time for you to move to jerusalem buddy.

No, I am waiting for you to put forth a viable alternative.

If it is to keep our noses out of the affairs of other countries then I agree. We should adopt a Calvin Coolidge attitude, "Te business of America is business."

We should not be sticking our noses into the internal affairs of other countries.

Like their will to overthrow dictators peacefully and demand democracy? No, fuck that, kill their children until they bow down to our rule - Hot 'libertarian' Rod
