So what is it? We're supporting the Egyptian government? We're supporting the uprising?
...
So are we making the same mistake now by undercutting the existing leadership of Egypt in hopes a democratic government will be installed? Or are the headlines suggesting we back the current leadership correct? If the current leadership is ousted, history suggests that we may wind up with a worse devil unfriendly to the U.S. and hostile to Israel.
No wonder the world is watching with horror and intense interest.

Since 1948 the USA has contributed 70 Billion dollars in foreign aid to Egypt.
It's stunning to think it's possible that a change of regime in Egypt (in the near future) could lead to a repudiation of the total US investment/assistance to that country.
A review of history in the early 20th century shows general civil unrest.
Widespread unemployment, unstable money supplies and other resources, and general disatisfaction with unresponsive authoritarian government led to increasing pockets of unrest in Europe, most especially Germany, in the Communist countries, and led to overthrow of governments resulting in even more oppressive regime seizing power. Economies were destablized; currencies were put at risk; and opportunistic nations looked for ways to capitalize on the unrest.
Result: World War I and World War II.
Now we see riots in Barcelona, in France, growing unrest in the UK, in Albania, and now in the Middle East with widespread government protests in Egypt and Jordan who, not insignificantly, are the only allies Israel has in that area.
Today oil is rising drastically and the markets are plunging as investors scramble to protect their assets in the fact of a possible civil war in Egypt alone.
And we have North Korea, China, Iran, Venezuela, and a few other places, all friendly to each other, and none the true friend of the Western World possibly looking for ways to capitalize on the unrest. Certainly Hamas and Hezbollah are watching and will likely make a move if they feel that world attention is diverted from Israel.
Are we moving to the brink of World War III?
World War III will come and its will be much different than the 3 previous ones. Its will be Islam vs Christianity! I see it starting Europe, including Russia. There is a ginormous culture clash between the Native European and Muslims. Its the worst in Russia.
(1) Russia:
25% and growing by leaps and bounds are Muslim in Russia. Ethnic violence is increasing 10 fold, esp with every Chechan terrorist attack. When Muslim population gets to 40% would could be as early as 2025. Serbian/Kosovo style genocidal war will be underway. The West, including America will sit by and allows this condemning it from the sidelines, because they don't want to risk a nuclear war with Russia. Muslims around the world will be outraged. Russia who is has more than enough oil reserves can't be effected by an oil embargo. In fact, Europe is reliant on them for oil and natural gas.
(2) China:
For a while China has wanted to get rid of their pain in the butt Muslim separatist. Seeing how the West including the US did nothing to Russia. Then start their own ethnic cleansing campaign.
(3) Europe:
The Muslim world gets more radical. They start to blame all Europeans for the slaughter of Muslims in Russia and China. They demand more thinks like Sharia law. Ethnic violence becomes rambid..
(4) Muslims Nuclear Sneak Attack:
Islamofacist develop nukes with the assistance of Pakistan, Nuclear Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Jordan, Libya, Tunsia, Saudi Arabia and Egypt (all these countries developed the bomb after Iran was allowed to develop one in 2012). Nuclear suicide bombs smack the West, China and Russia hard!
(5) Then the War is on
Editorial: Will Obama Lose Egypt?
01/28/2011
An Ally Imperiled: What Egyptians are demonstrating against, whether they know it or not, is socialism. What they and we could end up with is another Iran. Is President Obama repeating Carter's Shah betrayal?
Revolutions are like fires. They can make life better, or they can destroy.
Three decades ago, Iran after being saved from Soviet dominance by the U.S. in 1953 traded in the flawed autocratic rule of the Shah for the bloodthirsty Islamist fanaticism of the Ayatollah Khomeini.
At the time, Jimmy Carter's presidency was, in the name of "human rights," on the side of the Islamists with U.N. Ambassador Andrew Young going so far as to call Khomeini "some kind of saint."
Does the Obama administration realize the difference between freedom-based revolutions and violent overthrows that will help jihadists?
In 2009, the Egyptian daily Almasry Alyoum reported that President Obama secretly met in Washington that year with representatives of Egypt's jihadist Muslim Brotherhood, the Hamas ally that, while banned, dominates the opposition in the country.
Obama also chose Egypt as the locale for his ill-conceived Muslim outreach speech in June 2009.
As Newsweek's Jonathan Alter points out in his White House-friendly book on the president's first year, "The Promise," "Obama never said the words 'terrorism,' 'terrorist,' or 'war on terror'" in the speech, because "the t-word had become inflammatory to Muslims" and the "faster way to the hearts and minds of a Muslim audience was to talk about the tensions between Islam and the West in a different key."
Bet the president didn't think he was planting the seeds of today's protests in Egypt. But what does he expect when he goes to a country in a decades-long police-enforced state of emergency, with tens of thousands of political prisoners, and announces that "you must maintain your power through consent, not coercion"?
He may have awakened a sleeping giant. Too bad the Iranian people didn't receive the same favor a year and a half ago when they were protesting in the streets against a regime that makes Egypt look Jeffersonian by comparison.

IMF WARNS OF WAR...
I keep saying that the possibility could be quite good. These are young and intelligent people who have to spend almost half their income (if they work) for food.
This is why Mubaraks new appointee mentioned grain lines. I see a very good chance for a secular outcome. Look at all the reporters. Look at the place.
It looks very good to this old man.
Well, if one believes in the Bible, then we are headed towards a very distinct future that has been spoken of already.
And with each year that passes, more and more of those thousands year old speakings become reality. Left wing atheists still deny this. Yet, predicted events keep becoming real history.
FYI-WWIII is a HOLY WAR with the JudeoChristians vs. Islam and it began on 091101
FYI-WWIII is a HOLY WAR with the JudeoChristians vs. Islam and it began on 091101
The West of course!So if we go with the perception that WWIII is to be a radical Islamofacist Muslim war against the rest of us, who wins?
Which side did the peaceful Germans and Japanese fight on?And which side do peaceful Muslims join, if any?
