Egypt protest broke out in violence

[Swasud]

Might sound crude, but after reading some comments here it’s hard not to get the impression that some posters if sent back in time during the American Revolution would be fighting on the side of the Redcoats…

 

[TareX]

Let me sum things up:

On Friday, 28th of January, Mubarak committed an act of terror to try to quell the protests; he released 17,000 prisoners and dismantled the entire police force, and unleashed armed police thugs all over the country with a green light to loot and terrorize the people. Youths formed civilian neighborhood watches to protect their properties.

With businesses looted, ATMs robbed, and the entire country in chaos, Mubarak made his emotional speech 4 days after his terror attack, where he basically said: "I am stability, without me there's chaos".... Then, he offered very sweet promises of change that are even lacking -as promises.

This country is ruled by a terrorist. This $70-billion-rich terrorist is willing to wait for people to run out of food and eat each other before he steps down. Thing is, he can't step down to a different regime, otherwise he will be prosecuted for his crimes.

This country is ruled by a terrorist.

It will continue to be ruled by terrorists after Mubarak leaves.
In a Muslim society you cannot have a government that is totally secular -- the exception is Turkey!! Fat chance of that happening!
You don`t think for a minute that your beloved Muslim Brotherhood will sit back and do nothing???

JEDIyoda, I hear what you're saying man, but we will deal with it AFTER. As American's it is our obligation to support liberty, as far as I can tell this people's revolution is for just that reason. We should be supporting the people of Egypt in their revolution and they already know where we stand. If they get what they "want" and it's not what we would like, we will deal with it, but I'm willing to bet the people of Egypt would rather be friendly with the USA than against. This includes remaining "civil" with Israel.

From what ive heard, mubarak went live on tv and basically said f u im staying until september


Ball is in militarys hands now, do they remove mubarak or defend him until he steps down? Fuuuuuuuuu

 

[StinkyPinky]

The military should throw his tyrant ass out.

Then again, once the military does that they may realize they can just appoint their own president....

I have a little different take but everything is guess work. Mubarak has delegated his basic power to his newly minted VP Sulieman. Thus far Sulieman has talked with protesters without making any concessions. But now that Mubarak has tried to somewhat delegate power to his VP, his VP can basically sell Mubarak down the river.
And now when new talks between the protesters and Sulieman start soon, the ole Egyptian army may be standing behind the VP with a gun in their hand, telling ole sillyman he better make some real consessions or else. Because its apparent to everyone in Egypt that nothing else will do.

As for Sulieman, he has always played a distant second or third fiddle to Mubarak, he is 74 years old, he is unlikely to stand any chance of being Mubarak's successor, but has a choice. An honorable retirement as a noble Egyptian transition figure, or going down in Egyptian history as a stooge to be shot on sight.

I think im assuming we never go so far as seeing elections. if protestors start to storm the palace today/night, military has to make a choice on what to do, let the.palace be burned and egypt put in chaos, or create some srructure by removing mubarak and everyone else in his cabinet or start mowing down civilians so they dont left4dead mob the whole center

someone has got to create order and u.fortunately its not protestors and its not mubarak.

quit spreading your lies, we are all getting sick of you in this country. the protesters/agitators/militants are trying to disrupt life in egypt as a way of fomenting discontent and unrest in order to overthrow the legitimate government in that country, you know, the government recognized by the egyptian people, the un and the whole rest of the world for the last 30 years. the militants are just a violent minority that arent supported by the people. the reason banks and schools are closed, theres no food, and there is chaos is because the militants have brought life to a halt in egypt, not because of anything mubarek did. the militants have no leader and no plans to help egypt, their only concern is taking over the country for their own benefit

the best thing at this point would be for gamal mubarek to take over and start a new gov and remove the protesters/agitators/militants

at least you have the timeline right. the police acted AFTER the militants/protesters brought life to a standstill in cairo

Quit being an idiot Obama2009. Not only do you play the wrong song in the USA, you play the wrong song in Egypt.

You may have the right to post your opinions, but you seem totally clueless about what really matters.

But you prove to be a total idiot by advocating, "the best thing at this point would be for gamal mubarek to take over and start a new gov and remove the protesters/militant."

 

[sportage]

The USA should just stay out and mind our own business.
The best thing Egypt did was to kick the press out.
Too bad they let them back in.
Things are not that much better here, except we don't have the balls to take to the streets. We just have Sarah Palin's big mouth to put up with.

 

[Lemon law]

At best Egypt tried to kick the press out, but in today's time, its beyond even the abilities of a Tyrant like Mubarak. North Korea is about the only country on earth that half way manages that feat, even a giant nation like China can no longer restrict all communication.
