"...just think Iraq in terms of a Middle East country desiring freedom and succeeding at it."

And it took the United States military going in there to knock the whole edifice down and help rebuild it in the image of the West to even begin the process. They didn't do it on their own.

And which is still unstable enough to come crashing down as the old Islamic infection of Sunni versus Shia and Shariah law begins to raise its ugly head again ...

“You are entitled to your opinion and I will not comment further. By supporting the “democratic uprising” movement,you are complicit in the murder of untold thousands after the muslim brotherhood consolidate their power. Like Jimmy Carter, your hands will be covered with innocent blood.”

You are being a little melodramatic, don’t you think? What power do I have over events in Egypt? Now, if you are wrong...and Egypt achieves liberty and democracy...what then? We save millions of lives probably as the domino affect swings through the Middle East. This has been the strategy of our liberation of Afghanistan and Iraq all along. If I am wrong, bad things happen a little sooner, because it is a fact that we cannot stop islamic terrorists from destroying cities in the US in the long run. We have to defeat them over there and the most humane, efficient way to do that is by helping bring democracy and freedom to the people...people who are free and prosper do not usually want to kill innocent people or surrender their lives for evil.

“And the last time the military was in power in Egypt, we got Nasser, then Sadat, and finally Mubarak, all military or ex-military ... hardly indicative of a tendency toward freedom and democracy. “

When does Cleopatra or Caesar come back???

“The democracy in Iraq only extends to the range of American M-16s. They took a year to form their new government and had to compromise with Iran’s puppet Al Sadr. You need to find a better example.”

Shhh, the Iraqis don’t know that...they think that they have died for and risked all for liberty...fools all eh?

There isn’t a vacuum now...the military is an organization that is secular, and appears to be supportive of democracy that is in power now and has promised to provide stability and allow free elections. It is going well so far...

As long as the Egyptians SLOW DOWN, and think before they make any serious decisions. The left and the brotherhood will try to get them to knee jerk. They'll try every "crises" trick in the book. If they knee jerk, they're toast. If they take their time, there's time for them to reject the radicals and do the right thing.
Let's hope what we "hear" about the military is correct. If so, it's the only thing that will hold back the radical tide.

You simply do not understand their Culture, specifically that for thousands of years, they have repeatedly fallen back on this kind of rule.

Looking at their own Public Opinion polls, they overwhelmingly desire to be ruled under Islamic Shariah Law.

We all hope that things were different, but reality is what we get. The sooner we understand that the sooner we go all out to defeat them in the only manner they understand.

“And it took the United States military going in there to knock the whole edifice down and help rebuild it in the image of the West to even begin the process. They didn’t do it on their own. “

And the primary reason we chose Iraq was that it was a relatively “easy” Middle East nation to invade and liberate, which we have succeeded in doing. The reason we wanted to do that in our war on terrorism is based upon the belief that people yearn to be free and other Middle Eastern nations would see the Iraqis free and throw off their chains of tyranny. The reason we want to do that is a free, prosperous people are not likely to kill innocent people or to die for evil causes. The reason that is important is because it is only a matter of time before islamic fanatics have the capability to destroy entire cities and kill millions at a time. Then, when that happens people will clamor for the destruction of the Middle East and we will kill millions in self defense.

So, we need to risk a bit to avoid that probably scenario from occurring because the ONLY chance we have of avoiding that kind of slaughter is what is happening right now and helping the Egyptians be free and democratic.

I gave you links and facts to back up how the communists and marxists are over there, . FHS wake up.
You’ve not given one fact, no evidence to show how many peaceful groups will not take power there,

You said code pink was not over there and we have no proof and I gave you their website with them saying they are there.

You then said the left have no power and no one listens and yet you seem to ignore the fact we have radical left wing nuts in the white house.

I then gave you more links and you never read them instead you said you will believe what you want .

I’m now convinced you are a liberal troll on here to wind people up as no one on the right can be this ignorant and dumb

Don’t bother replying as time with you is wasted.

Hell you can’t even understand why s many on here are trying to tell you things, instead you keep repeating the same crap.

You can’t even tell people where you get your news and info from.

Okay, sounds reasonable...btw, talk about knee jerk reactions...have you been reading the posts here with people overwhelmed by their fears?

You have forty people telling you that you are a moron, delusional, idealistic.

And instead you claim that ALL of us are ignorant.

You won't answer questions, you just use big words to make yourself sound smart. People are throwing facts in your face and you just dismiss it.

Personally I believe you should be zotted you are supporting terrorists. You won't answer a damn question instead you act like a five year old trying to insult people while avoiding answering questions from the many EDUCATED FReepers.

From your posts you sound like you didn't go past the 8th grade. FR has lawyers, doctors and many other educated people who all share this opinion and you want to dismiss us all as stupid.

You are clearly a liberal troll. Go back to one of Soro's websites. Everything you have said goes against EVERYTHING that this website and its members stand for.

You are on the same side as Marxists, Communists, Code Pink, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and Iran!!!

Congratulations you are probably the most ignorant person I have EVER seen on this website even the trolls are better posters.

Hell is where there is no logic, folks we have entered hell with the wonderful genius known as Wpin.

And you are an ignorant POS for insulting every FReeper who has simply tried to provide you with information.

You are a typical liberal, instead of answering questions you twist your logic and talk about something else to avoid answering a question and then resort to name calling.

Go back to the Huffington Post I'm sure they are missing you in their joyous celebration with their "brothers and sister Islamists".

And you are not worth further reply I would encourage the rest of this community to not respond to this troll. It's people like him who gave us Obama!

How does one go about getting an accurate public opinion poll result in a dictatorship that does not value your life or well being?

I’m not bothering, I;ve given him evidence that the MB and code oink are over there, he refused to accept it even though it says they are there on their own website.

Obviously a troll

I wasn't in favor of going into either Iraq or Afghanistan in the aftermath of 9-11. I'm not a "turn the other cheek" or "hope they see the errors of their ways" kind of guy.

200 years from now, I want their children's children's children
to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead
because their legends tell of fire from the sky.

I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth,
shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines
because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters
crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.

I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with
"If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you",
and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obedience.

I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology
will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea
.. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.

Funny...I am the one advocating liberty...you are the one advocating tyranny...try thinking instead of responding. You might find the world is really a better place than your delusional fears have led you to believe. Put into perspective the alternative to an attempt for liberty...

"I want to see them happy and free...trading freely their goods and services with the rest of a free world."

And this is where I came in awhile ago - Kumbaya campfires.

I'm sure that there are openings in the Peace Corps to where you can go and personally assist these people who so want freedom that they will welcome you with open arms ...

... but I would suggest that you sleep with your eyes open and be careful in your group hugs. I can almost guarantee you that one of their hands will have a knife in it.
