Why should we care? Let them work things out. This is the only way these people will ever find their way forward. We have more to gain from instability in the Middle East than not. Iran thinks that Egypt falling gives them more power. Egypt falling gives the people of the Middle East more power. It shows that even a mild dictator like Mubarak can fall in what were relatively peaceful protests. More people have died of violent crime in a handful of our larger cities than have died during these protests.

Chaos in the Middle East is good. It will strengthen domestic energy. It also for a temporary period give us an economic hit but that will just mean that our out of control govt entitlements and debt will come due a bit sooner and there is no better time than now. Going into 2012 this is a very good thing for us and for the reclaiming of America. The left should see this. If they don’t they are stupid. This is a game changer and a very good one for the US because our interests should not be in the Middle East to begin with except to protect our one true ally which is Israel. Fear of the Muslim brotherhood is over rated. They are not a dominant force in Egypt and if they were powerful enough to rule they would’ve a long time ago. I’m sure they will try to gain power and they will be a part of the govt but even in our country we have outright socialist scum elected to office. As long as we have the weapons to keep them out of Israel and off our shores then I don’t really care. Let the Egyptians determine their future it is better than one man who got rich off their & our backs to the tune of 70 billion dollars.

It is time to think different. Reclaiming America is also about getting our focus on what our interests really should be.

I think your position is myopic. Domestic energy may benefit in the long run, but you have no way to predict what intervening factors will influence that possibility. It may happen, it may not.

What is most apparent is that Israel is now without question threatened. If you truly believe that we should protect Israel, then this is very bad. You state that "fear of the Muslim Brotherhood" is over rated". And you know this how? Besides, it isn't just the MB in its present form that we have to fear. It's very likely that Iran will now begin full infiltration of such groups...it is only a matter of time before a small organized group takes power. I guarantee you it will not be in our best interest when the Suez is shut down. Our allies depend on the Suez and if it closes we pay a price also.
