Now riots between anti-Mubarak and pro-"stability" factions. What will this guy think of next?
My opinion:
We're a bunch of pu*sies for not helping the Egyptian people because we like having a puppet dictator in our pocket over there.
We've been in Irag and Afghanistan for what, nearly a decade, trying to "win the hearts and minds" of those people and bring them democracy. We've failed miserably because they didn't ask or want our help.
Here you've got a mostly educated populace that WANTS democracy in the worst way, the movement has asked for our support and we've walked the diplomatic BS line.
Personally I think we should tell the standing government that the people are getting democracy, and that we should extend the offer of our support to all of the other Arab peoples that wish to depose their dictators and have a functioning democracy.
It might plunge the entire region into chaos, it might not, but aren't we a nation that was built on the principles that everyone deserves freedom and democracy? Those people deserve a shot.
The reason why they are playing the diplomatic line is because we have to work with whoever comes out on top in this mess and it is still not for certain that Mubarak or his organization is going anywhere.
This is going to happen.

Something is going to happen, but I don't think that's it.

We spend too much money there to be irrelevant.
All I'm saying is that we are a country that beats our chest about helping other people get their freedoms and their democracy, and we totally puss out. I'm tired of our country being hypocritical.
