You believe Mubarak was good for the United States? Really?
Where do you think Islamic fundamentalism has grown fastest? It is under dictators like Mubarak.
Where have all the fundamentalists originated? Under governments where there is no democracy.
Why is it that some people believe that dictatorship can be a good thing anywhere, as long as we don’t have to live under it?
People will always rebel against oppression as long as there are people.
At some point it should become obvious that we have no control over countries like Egypt other than financially and the countries we often help financially turn on us anyway.
To be more direct, what policy would you advocate the US take in regards to Egypt in order for things to be better for us?
If you have the answer, you owe it to all of us to give it, because no one else has figured it out yet.
Obama s a blathering idiot and we are feeling his idiocy at home, but what is gong on in Egypt is way beyond his or any other American’s control.
The only thing we could do is withdraw financing from all these countries, but that wouldn’t help us, other than saving us the cash.
Because Islam is not compatible with civilization.
A quote from an 1899 book by Winston Churchill, "The River War", in which he describes Muslims he apparently observed during Kitchener's campaign in the Sudan
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”
1. No aid, food or military
2. Buy any products they manufacture. Encourage capitalism.
3. Eliminate all taxes on any company that invests there, and allow any profits to flow back here tax free.
