Egypt Looking for Change?

[delldude]

I think this is the only way a country can change it's future. They have to want it and they have to change it from with in. Change cannot be forced on a population and expect it to work. I guess it remains to be seen if the Egyptians can force Mubarak out or if he will hang on for a while longer. I do believe that Dictators/plutocracy or how ever you want to define Egypt's form of government are going to go away. With all the communication forms available these days, the younger generations are not going to just sit idly by any more. I think if Egypt falls, that will have a huge ripple effect.

If they can figure out out to organize, they might just pull it off.

New poll: Egyptians turning toward Iran, want nuclear weapons

"Very scary to people opposed to proliferation of nuclear weapons, let alone to unstable countries in the world's most turbulent part of the world, is the 87 percent who want Egypt to build nuclear weapons," he said. "Morsy's dangerous embrace of Iran is leading a surprising shift in favor support for Tehran, which has for decades been seen by Egyptians as their top threat, as well as for their work on nuclear weapons."

I would say that your chance to see the GIZA plateau and the wonders of the pyramids is gone for a good while. Sadly if the brotherhood takes the muslim stance that several other groups like them in other ME countries have we are probably going to see many of the ancient relics and monuments of egypt destroyed under their rule.

Looks like Egypt was instrumental in brokering the cease fire between Gaza and Isreal.

A brilliant foreign policy move by the US to let Egypt, led by the Muslim Brotherhood, to take the lead in this effort.

The hot pickles turned out to be sweet gerkins. ROFLMAO.

countdown to the latest conspiracy......

Most of us who have witnessed these cease-fire agreements over the decades have very little confidence this one will last more than a few weeks, if that. When you get a little older you'll understand it's no laughing matter.

Of course. Do not address what I posted about Egypt.

And as for my age? I voted for Reagan. Did you?

Actually No! I voted for Ed Clark and Ron Paul respectively.

I acknowledge your point regarding Egypt. Of course they want to look like the good guy in order to keep the foreign aid rolling in. You don't need a a PhD to figure that out. Which brings me to the point.

What if the USA said to all parties from Iran to Libya to Sudan. "We're done! no aid to anyone in the Middle East (including Israel), we're out of Libya, Iraq, Yemen, Jordan & Afghanistan. Have fun killing each other, Buh bye now"?

I think it is unlikely that the Egyptian government will do anything to thwart tourism as it a main stay of their country. They do not export that much oil, so that is a huge revenue source for them.

Ford, Ford, Reagan

Ford, Ford, Reagan

A vote for Nixon was a vote for Ford.
We all know that...

Jesus, one Ford was enough!

I most definitely agree with you there Dell.

However, I am of the glass half-full crowd, thinking that this will end up being a positive net gain for the humans involved in this turn of events.

How's it looking now, Friend?

"Islam is the state religion. Arabic is the official language. Principle of Sharia is the main source of legislation," the second article of the draft stated.

Our tax dollars now are funding Sharia law, not democracy of, for and by the people as was hoped.

First, Egypt is nothing like Afghanistan. There will be nothing "like Taliban rule".

Your predictions are not based on fact.

Welcome to the new improved Sharia governed Egypt.

Muslim Brotherhood claims victory in Egypt constitution vote amid fraud allegations

Egypt's new Sharia-based constitution has been approved in a second round of voting, the ruling Muslim Brotherhood party said. The country's opposition leveled accusations of fraud, saying it will appeal the referendum results.
The new charter was approved by 64 percent of Egyptian voters in a “resounding victory,” state news agency al-Ahram reported on Sunday. The preliminary tallies were calculated from reports by polling station officials. Egypt's election committee will confirm the final results on Monday.
