Apparently, the Egytian people have managed to drive their dictator off. Now it's our turn.

Let us hope that the next leader of Egypt is not the anti Christ.

Well that dictator was the only friend we had in that country! I think the Muslim population will be far more anti-American and pro extreme Muslim than in the past!

I read the V.P. is taking over and he is head of the egyptian equivalent of the KGB. Sounds like a much better bargain.

Beerbelly, you nailed it.

BEERBELLY. YEP. The muslim brotherhood hates America and Israel. Mubarac was indeed corrupt, but I think a lot of their gripes was that he got along with America and Israel, not enough blood. POWDERMAN.

As far as America is concerned, Mubarac leaving and the VP taking over, and the muslim brotherhood in the wings. We're the interventionist, and our patient just switched from marajuana to crack cocain. With the big 0 running things, it can only get worse!! gypsyman

Lets hope the new regime doesn't screw us by closing the canal to the west for oil imports.

BUFFERMOP. That would be a serious threat to our national security. POWDERMAN.

If the canal is closed, the response will be the tell tale as to wether its all about oil or not.

I guess people everywhere just want to be free!

Isn't it amazing that in a country the majority of people give the minority the consent to rule over them.
And without that consent it would end.

When the Shah was chased out of Iran, the crowds (and Jimmy Carter) thought they were just entering into a new paradise of freedom; ..SURPRISE...Surprise.... Now we have re-Jimmy in the Whitehouse..

Sure Mubarack was corrupt...so are all the leaders of those tribal based societies, it's ingrained in their culture ! Do you think the next guy will be George Washington ?

There is a distinction between consent of the governed and mob rule, and the founders were very clear to walk on the side of a free society. What we're seeing in Egypt is not freedom & democracy at work; were watching 1 tyrant ran off by 1 million tyrants, while millions more who had no voice in the revolution are hoping to God there'll be water tomorrow. Will of the people in a pigs eye.

Why do you think Iran & China are filtering all media from or about Egypt? Their current regimes are in power as a result of mob rule. They know first hand how the game goes. All it will do is replace one mob with another in a never-ending cycle.

So Hosni walks out with billions, the region is destabilized, and the economic security of several nations is teetering, the Egyptian people have what? And it's a win? It's just half-time. Wait and see.

They went from a corrupt dictator to being ruled by their corrupt army what a wonderful improvement .

From the "frying pan into the fire" perhaps ?

I give the Brotherhood about one year at most to take control unless the Army likes being in charge a bit longer.

The Junta has promised that they will be hosting elections sometime in the future; I'm sure they'll keep their word.
