I'm sorry to say that I have been moving and I haven't seen any tv since Thursday really.. this does seem to be a mess though.. do we support the guy who has been there for 30 yrs and 'wink-wink' elected each time? or do we hope that real democracy takes over?
Egypt has a very conservative Muslim streak just under the surface and if that takes over, we're in for a whole new world..
Moving? Obama bought you a home?
HA!
noo.. got this one on my own
Mubarek has been a dictator too long and the people have spoken. I've always said (hell, since Vietnam) when the people want change, change will happen. I don't think the Egyptian people will allow the Muslim Brotherhood to take over the government, although it's obvious lilMike's convinced that'll happen.
I sent him a msg on his blog to join this discussion. Maybe he will....
It's an interesting thing to watch and think about. It would be great to have a more democratic leader in the region, but I still don't know if the people are ready for such a leader. It seems they do better under the guys that aren't evil, but maybe a little on the 'dictator-Y' side of things..
one thing that would bring about the wrong kind of change is to go all Kent-state on all the protesters... that will incite more and definitely bring out the class of leaders we don't want to see take over..
no matter what, it's got to be a pretty tight line Obama in walking on right now..
