If there is a big demonstration in Tehran on Monday what you will see is a big blood bath.....those fools won’t give up easy and it will get ugly quick. I honestly don’t think that with those religious idiots democracy as we know it is possible. I’ve said for years when you roll the make believe world of religion into politics....big trouble is looming.

we suddenly discover he’s a dictator?

Islam reduces men to evil brutes. Only an iron fisted dictator who understands that is able to inforce “social order.” It’s ugly, it’s mean, but it’s the truth. One doesn’t have to spend much time in Moslem countries to understand that. Mubarak was iron fisted, but as benificent as that hell (Egypt) will ever see. It will become obvious as Egypt decends into chaos with his departure.

We didn't get rid of Mubarak. THEY did. As is their right. It's their country. As for what they choose to do now, that's THEIR problem. Not ours.

We will reap what we have sown.

Sadly, I think you are correct. I simply don't feel that Mubarak was ever a threat to the US, Israel or any of our other allies. Unfortunately there is no upside to our efforts to overthrow him. If it works out for Egypt, they will never give the US credit for it, but if it goes badly in Egypt then our meddling will be used by Muslim extremists to stir up the next revolution. There are other dictators in the region worth overthrowing...but not Mubarak.

"They" who? Was the whole country in the streets of Cairo? Did they ALL want this? Did Obama's comments spur them on? From here it looks like a puppet show with manipulation from outside of Egypt..., but if they're happy...

It's their country.

Is it? or WAS it?

There are certain people around here who have an agenda that has nothing to do with the freedom of the Egyptian people. Some of it is just the desire to blame America for everything that happens in the world, some of it has to do with the hopeful destruction of Israel, some of it is to be just argumentative.

Next to those dictators, Mubarak was a cream puff. They would have rolled the tanks and deployed the death squads after the first protests.

Remember those three-week long protests in Saddam's Iraq? Neither do I.

Arabs always have dictators; it is the nature of muslim religion.

The best solution is to prop up a psuedo-friendly dictator that moves them to islam-lite.

I heard that power was transfered to the Military. I don’t think the Military is gonna take any shit from the MB.

The military may control the country right now but what we don't know is who is going to end up controlling Egypt's intelligence organization. It might be easier for the MB to affect a second revolution once they infiltrate the intelligence org.

There is no such thing as "democracy" under Sharia Law.

Whether we prop them up or not, they always seem to end up with one anyhow.

Your're right. So better a dictator who cooperates with us than a dictator who'll set the Middle East, and maybe the world, aflame.
