From TWITTER:
WashingtonPost: Clinton: We urge #Egypt authorities to allow peaceful protest, reverse unprecedented steps it has taken to cut off communications less than 20 seconds ago
That’s because it is. You nailed it.
Thanks HollyB. I agree, there has been.

Dude really....you need to grow up and explain your postion not carry on with the same tune as the social-lipped progressives. Prove your point and move on...if u carry it till everyone has been long gone listening....u are the one that turns into that of which you accuse...!
I wonder how fast those wikipedia lay editors are. lol.
Well, if so, we shall reap the whirl-wind.
What the US should always advocate is a Republic that recognizes God given rights in Constitutional form. Democracies always vote themselves into debt and become broke.
I appreciate the explanation. I’m admittedly ignorant of the historical/political implications of this part of the world being in unrest with the exception of the price of fuel. I certainly do not want Muslim fundamentalists at the reigns.
I’ll remain a spectator and hopefully gain a better understanding as this thread proceeds and as events unfold.
Alas, were that only the case... it would at least be evidence of a clever, scheming mind, capable of dealing with the very fluid situation in that region.
More likely, and much worse, I think Obama actually believes all those platitudes of his, and that saying something nice, will make it so.
He's more callow and naive than Carter at his worst. This is about as bad as it can be.
Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner!
By action and inaction, squarely on the side of Islam.
Unfortunately,so true.
If the people voted (democracy) they would elect Islamic hardliners.

But then by definition they would not have a ‘democracy’... Islam and the MB revile democracy: allah determines everything sown to the sub atomic level - what makes anyone imagine allah permits ‘democracy’ or any sort of thing like the western notion of personal and political freedom? Read the sunnahs and hadiths for crimminy’s sake.
And don’t forget “Together We Thrive”........(As Islamofascists that is!)
Where it always is, cowering behind our financial support until the air clears and it can go back to trying to destroy us out in the open again.
Wrong. We should have nuked Mecca and Medina on 9/12, thereby ending and preventing this whole mess.
I didn’t say one damn thing about freedom.
I said democracy.
They are completely diffrent and only sometimes related.
Exactly - which is what makes dictatorship practically inevitable in the ME.
Islam isn't compatible with a civil democracy, as we are finding even in Iraq, where the Muslims are busy killing each other (not to mention Christians) and just waiting for us to leave so they don't even have to pretend anymore.
The only way for civil society to exist is when Islam is repressed and kept down.
