ur exactly correct my friend

If Americans EVER had the events needed
for it's own protests.

Now would be the perfect time.

as Rahm Emmanuel said:

Never let a good crisis go to waste.

but then I remember, they outsource most all of their advanced work to european nations. without westerners, these are people that would not have running water.

I find your comment extremely ignorant and offensive, but VERY funny, because water supply systems were actually engineered by arab inventor Al-Jazari in 13th century and later adopted in europe.

kinda lost here ....
does WHAT worry me?
The fact that Rahm said never let a good crisis go to waste?
Or the fact that a criminal said it ???

As far as I'm concerned, I think he needs
to be in prison instead of running for political office.
But I feel this way about 2/3 of Congress too.
How's that for an im-moral majority ???

Egypt will fall anyway,
they have shed too much
blood now to stop.

Mubarek has already shipped his immediate family
out of the country.

When you have time to watch it, watch it.....I was surprised but not shocked and I'm surprised the citizens of Chicago does'nt know this stuff - if there is any truth to it. This guy is nothing but a thug.

Yes, they left some days ago as well as Mubarak's wife with 100s of suitcases in tow. But you do know Mubarak has'nt got all that time to live and is dying of cancer.

The report appears to be incorrect. Syria internet is up.

Facebook is officially blocked though.

I thought you knew

www.uncoverage.net...

Syria can't really revolt...Syria is not overly moderate.
Any real revolution would quickly slide into a full slaughter and iron grip from the government, total media blackout, and the government simply would give a rats ... about opinions from anyone.

They are not egypt...

nothing says freedom for infinate "detention" for protestors...egypt allows free speech (to an extent anyhow) because they are westernized (sort of). Syria is anti-west..and that includes anti-people's rights.

I can only hope that the result in egypt is more freedom and western style government and not less....but typically the radical fringe capitalize on these types of movements. if the moderates let the fringe gain momentum, expect no good to come from any of this.

With food prices increasing, especially rice and wheat.....you can bet on it a demonstration will start there, it's not a matter of if but when.

no, I did not know.
however the problem still exists.
Egypt is not a monarchy,
he should not pass on rule
to his son Gamal.

A leader should be
democratically elected,
not selected.

From what I gather, Syria's internet is still down

do you have a source to confirm otherwise?

reply to post by boondock-saint


I agree and I understand Omar Suleiman does'nt want Mubarak's son in power
