Egyptians will long rue the day they let this happen to themselves.
The rest of the world better sit up and take note, this is their future if they are not very very carefull.

Sic Semper Tyrannis
Mubarak isn't looking so bad now, is he? I read an article about Egypt which was revealing. They have to import most of their food now, but back in the times of King Farouk in the 40's and 50's, they were a grain exporting nation. And this was before the creation of the Aswan High Dam which was supposed to provide more water for agriculture! The Farouk regime was corrupt to be sure, but the quality of life for Egyptians was so much better then as it is now. And now they have the US by the balls in that if the American government discontinues or in any way alters the billion or so dollars a year they get in military aid, the peace treaty with Israel gets ripped up. Lovely how we have to prop up regimes and bribe them just to keep the peace, which really wasn't and isn't a peace in the first place.

Barry Goldwater feared the day when Christian Fundamentalists would gain the upper hand in the GOP and now its here, Muslims have decades of struggle ahead of them, they are so far from the Age of Enlightenment.
