From FOX:
DEVELOPING: Loud explosions and gunfire were heard in the Egyptian capital of Cairo Friday, as protesters demanding the removal of President Hosni Mubarak defied a curfew, Al Jazeera reported. Egyptian television reports the ruling party headquarters in Cairo are on fire.

F***ing up. That's what happens when amateurs get put in power. You may like Sarah Palin just fine, but she's an amateur, too.
Someone earlier said ElBaradei is simply a stooge who will be killed at the appropriate time.
And I don't expect it to end in Egypt...once Egypt falls watch out. Anyone know what the Saudis are up to? Are things quiet in the kingdom today?
Your analysis is certainly sound. America has no business backing dictators, especially to the extent we have backed Mubarak. We may be witnessing the beginning of Egypt’s end.
We all understand that....I just wondered what your stance was on Islamic radicals taking over Egypt.
Israel will have to react, could be bad.
Of course not. Most of the people who protested the Czar were not Bolsheviks, most of the people who protested against the Weimar Republic were not Nazis, most of the people who protested against the Shah were not hardcore Islamics. But in the end, the ones who take advantage are the ones who are most ruthless and organized.

That R9 person absolutely hates Sarah Palin and NEVER misses a chance to put her down. Although I dunno, we got Obamer in charge now and I hardly think HE’s any paragon of foreign policy expertise.
Maybe the R stands for ROVE.
So then, what's your alternative...keeping in mind we live in the real world.
Good idea! Thanks for the ping. Looks like things are heating up big time. Sounds like Elbaradei wants to take Mubarak’s place. El Baradei would probably be a nightmare since he is the one that sat around while Iran,Pakistan and North Korea got the bomb or are working on one. I have never trusted elBaradei..he is as anti american as they come.
Iranian Mullah dreams ...
And the first people the hardliners polish off are the poor fools who were out there legitimately protesting.
It happened in every one of the cases you mentioned.
I read Elbareidi is under “house arrest”.
Whatever that means.
I was but a foetus in the womb when everything happened in Iran. I don’t want to see this happen, but I’m interested to see where it goes.
This is the growth of radical islam! Fueled by corrupt officials who have pocketed all the aid we have given them and empoverised the people.
Once the radicals take over things will get worse for all the people.
We save aid money and open new markets for our food crops.
The middle east needs to be in flames so theu are incapable of growing and thriving.
Hillary Clinton making sure nobody will have take seriously anything she says ever again.
