Egypt scares me very much. She's a powerful country who's going to down quickly and we really have to look at how it happened.
First, Egypt is a dictatorship. Cell phones and the Internet have now been shut down and TV has been cut. To me, that is a strong sign of a dictatorship, to silence the people, and please take careful note - there are those in our government who are pushing to
give Obama an Internet kill switch (and please don't get me wrong, this isn't an Obama bash, Bush had his Patriot Act that was just as bad, if not worse because he actually got that, Obama hasn't gotten his Internet kill switch yet).
How will I watch Stargate on Hulu now?!
Serious rioting is a serious thing that, I think, people don't take seriously.
SEE THOSE THINGS IN THE SKY? Fighter jets are flying about to show these 'rioters' how serious the Egyptian government is, and this doesn't scare them. They keep rioting. Lemme tell you, I live not far from Quantico (the USMC HQ) and whenever I see a Blackhawk in the air just doing training, it scares the $%#* out of me.
These people are not effected by it, which leads me to a two conclusions: 1) this isn't just a riot any more, and 2) this is quickly turning into a revolution and I don't mean an American revolution, I mean a French revolution, lead by the people who founded Hamas, and who taught and inspired Osama bin Laden (if you don't believe me,
click here). Read your history folks. It took only three years to bring down the French monarchy which had dominated France for centuries.
It was those same people in the French revolution, who made a radical democratic country out of people who took to the streets, who are seemingly taking over Egypt.
I don't know about you, but that tells me that if Egypt falls by people in the street, being lead by the Muslim Brotherhood, this would be a revolution, a hugely bad revolution, in one of the most powerful countries in an already unstable region, lead by a
radical Islamic group who founded Hamas and who inspired and taught OBL. If we don't acknowledge this, then perhaps we should listen to that group who is trying to take over, said by Mohamed Mahdi Akef, "We don't want to harm this revolution."
Don't doubt me here - this WILL inspire others. There was a man named Rodger on the street of Chicago, who sounded like a regular guy to me, calling for the SAME type of revolution here. Already, here in America, we have people in the streets, who are
US Socialists, calling for support of the Egyptian rioters.
Let me say something to make you think - if it's inspiring socialists here, if people here
are calling for violent revolution, what makes you think other unstable countries in Europe, the Middle East, or elsewhere, won't be doing the same thing?
