Bowing and apologizing to both sides?
Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

Egypt riots escalate; political prisoners shot Riots break out at Egypt jail holding political prisoners, including Muslim Brothers members; eight detainees reportedly killed. Meanwhile, protests in Cairo, Alexandria rage on, demonstrators try to break into Interior Ministry headquarters
Latest Update: / Israel News
share Egypt riots escalate: The riots raging on in Egypt have spread into several prisons in the country Saturday, as at last eight detainees were reportedly killed in a jail holding political prisoners.
Prison guards reportedly fired live ammunition and tear gas in the northern Egypt prison as detainees attempted to stage a mutiny at the site, which also holds Muslim Brotherhood prisoners. Security forces were reinforcing their presence at jails throughout the country as result of the violence there.
Hamas sources have reported that a few Palestinian detainees have escaped Egyptian prisons during the unrest, and are making their way to the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, medical sources in Egypt confirmed that the overall number of fatalities in the riots raging in Egypt since Tuesday has reached at least 82 people. Some 2,000 others were hurt in protests against President Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule.
Full-fledged chaos had been reported at several regions of Egypt, as the masses crowd public squares, and banks, government buildings, and businesses are being looted. In Cairo, some 1,000 protestors attempted to break into the Interior Ministry headquarters. Al-Jazeera reported that police forces were attempting to disperse the demonstrators using live fire. At least three people were shot and killed in the clashes, the network said.
Looting an lynching Overall, tens of thousands of Egyptians are demonstrating in the streets of Cairo and Alexandria, and according to some reports there is no security forces' presence on the streets. Elsewhere, reports are coming in about the torching of government buildings, police stations, and security headquarters nationwide.
Some people have exploited the ongoing riots to settle the score with Egyptian business figures. The al-Arabiya network reported a mass looting of businesses in the Suez area belonging to a prominent businessman, including a lynching at one of the sites. Just like in Tunisia, reports are coming in of "popular committees" set up to prevent attacks on businesses and homes. Overnight, attempts were made to loot the Egypt National Museum.

Authorities in Egypt have declared that a curfew will be imposed in the country from 4 pm today to 8 am Sunday morning, yet enforcing it in the current atmosphere of total chaos seems a largely impossible task.
Egypt's business sector is attempting to minimize the damage, with trading in Cairo's stock exchange suspended following the massive 10.5% drop Thursday. Local banks will not be operating Sunday for fear of looting, yet the country's Central Bank says that bank accounts are safe and that liquidity is not an issue.
According to a report by the Arab-language BBC Saturday afternoon, Egyptian army units were attempting to prevent protestors from breaking into the Central Bank in Cairo and looting it.

But others want to continue showering every other country on earth with hundreds of billions in American tax dollars.....
This has worked out really good huh?....As American enters an economic dark age.
You are right about this, as well.
Problem is, the RINO Republicans have never come through on the willingness to ABSOLUTELY WIN THE FIGHT against the left, no matter what. RINO's abandon their friends and fail to punish the left and their enemies, and have assisted in stabbing loyal friends in the back.
Who would you trust?
Or, is Obama an intelligent, brilliant, amazingly effective President and leader, doing everything in his ability to bring America down and tyrannize Americans, to better life for America hating Marxists and Muslims?
All good people, and truth tellers. I add Bolton and Palin to that list, but we are talking about Egyptians and other non Americans, and what they understand.
Our good conservatives cannot get RINO support to control the Marxist horde here in America, we can barely keep these good-guys in office here. How are foreigners going to bet their lives on visits like these.
Just as an aside, the treasonous trips Kerry, and other Rats took to ENEMY nations to influence foreign policy, were NEVER prosecuted by the RINOs, but what you want to bet that DeMint, Boehner, Bachman, Bolton, and Palin would have Justice and military sent after 'em while being denounced and convicted in the MSM within hours of their departure.
Marxist Rats and Muslime play to win, and RINOS and 90% of Americans ain't up to the job. That's all our former foreign friends know.
The laugh is, the Marxists think that they can control the Muslime alone, they can't, they ain't tough enough.

Watch for the next plan to whip up emotions for “war fever”, as a means to bailout the insiders.
The link (theory)is the devaluing of the dollar is causing global commodities especially food and energy to rise; causing food inflation in several countries. Of coarse there are other factors causing the food problem. I believe there is some truth to this theory esp. in places like China where their currency is linked to ours; we are exporting inflation. And the global oil price is in dollars.
There have been only a couple of times the Muslime horde has been thrown back, for a while.
The King of Poland, Jan III Sobieski, at the Battle Vienna.
Vlad III, Prince of Wallachia, at the battle for his principality.
Ferdinand III of Castile, after the Battle of Grenada.
In all three, the tactics of the Christian commanders were simple, no Muslim was to be left alive.
They succeeded, although Fredinand, lacking sufficient troops was forced to allow the Muslime to flee and sack Spain in front of him.
Vlad was the most immediately successful, he terrorized the main Muslime army by his engagement of their large advance unit (none survived and all were impaled on stakes alongside the road) into retreat before engagement. Vlad is the basis for the Dracula legend that he lives on blood and cannot be killed. He was undone by treason, not Islam.
All three have a commonality, they were willing to immediately kill every Muslim they came in contact with, bar none.
They were simply tougher than the Muslime.
If we can't find an American this tough, well....
As for the Marxists, the people they genocided were non violent (for the most part), unarmed, imprisoned non Muslims. The Moos will be a little harder.
