I am not sure I get your meaning. Those articles were on the trash left after obozos coronation.

" Washington trash trucks hauled away at least 130 tons of garbage after the inauguration of President obama, with more to go. National Park Service workers picked up almost 100 tons on the Mall and near the White House. "

" Crews, seen through a roll of dismantled temporary fencing, remove the gloves, containers, newspapers and other items left on the Mall after Tuesday's inauguration of the . . ."

Its the first page of Despot 101, when the population revolts open the prisons and release the inmates, then the protests can be blamed on 'criminals' and brutally put down.

Didn't McCain even say today NOW is the time for a transition? Egyptian leaders should listen to our congress. They are the ones that authorize aid... although he has said "ElBaradei is not a friend of the United States"

.. again, where is this going? Rioting for the sake of rioting is not progress. We must pay careful attention to who is leading the opposition and what they represent.

It wasn't a "full blown war." Most Americans at the time didn't give a fuck about the revolutionary war. The brits lost since htey couldnt keep up the support of the populous and used Hessian "mercs" (King George was of Hessian blood so not really mercs i guess). Brits burned down villages and sure there were a lot of "patriots" who terrorised loyalist supporters but it wasn't necessarily a full blown war. Civil War was not even about slavery, it was more about state rights.

Personally, I've seen that most Americans I know take a stance similar to my own in that they support the revolts, but they worry what government will take Mubarak's place.

Why would Americans be worried what takes its place? Is America a militarily weak nation bordering Egypt or something?? Are Americans averse to self determination and 'power to the people' in the context of a nation of desperate underemployed, underfed subjects of a kleptocrat, just looking for some bread and a job? Or is the real reason that they don't want true Arab sentiment electing leaders because the middle east is where a large percentage of the world's oil comes from and decades of mistreatment by western nations (backing brutal dictators/stooges, overthrowing democratically elected leaders, invading nations on shoddy grounds or simply 'in the national interest' (Suez)) has utterly alienated the Arab street from the west? That's not to say Arabs hate the west either. It may shock a lot of people to realise that they want all the things we have: TVs, iPhones, the internet, nice cars, good food, etc. Perhaps if we treated that part of the world with parity of esteem rather than viewing the region as 'peoples we must exert control over' we might foster better relations with them.

Which effectively equates to trading principles for self interest, which I recognise of course is part and parcel of reality.

I really hate how the media pulls the USA right into the Egyptian revolution, while it doesn't really have much of a special relationship with the country. Why on earth aren't they showing what Israel thinks and does more? They border Egypt on gaza ffs.

While I agree with you that our history of supporting dictators hasn't helped us in the long run and that we should stop doing this sort of thing, I think it's also fair to be concerned about whether or not countries like Egypt and Yemen end up with Iranian-style theocratic pseudo-republics.

Even if we stopped supporting dictators and entering foolish wars, this form of concern would be relevant with regard to trade interests and regional stability.

Well I think Turquoise spoke out of turn. Truth is, most Americans don't give a flying fuck what happens to Egypt, as long as whatever happens does not cost us at the gas pump or force longer lines at airport security. Indeed the vast majority of Americans last week, had never heard the name Hosni Mubarak, much like the vast majority of us never heard of Osama Bin Laden before 911. We are talking about a nation of citizens so self absorbed and stupid that a significant percentage of us has no idea what the significance of DEC 7th 41 is, or what the 3 branches of our govt. are.
