Looking back on Iran now would you have supported the Shah if you knew then what you know now?
This is EXACTLY like Iran in more ways than not. The ultimate plan by the radical Islamists was to overthrow and get rid of Mubarek. Fortunately, they had a bad economy to act as their ally and to help them create a revolt based upon economics and stirred the flames with hatred for the person that brought this upon them.
Islamists used the people same way as liberals use minorities. Same way as Stalin used his useful idiots.
This, in almost all aspects, is Iran all over again. The biggest losers in all this will be Israel and the US.
The factual innacuracies here are vast, and overwhelming.
The biggest losers in this are Israel and the United States?
Well Boo Hoo. I don't really give a flying ****.
This is about the Egyptian people, if they choose that form of government (which is not likely) then that is their choice, not yours.
A foreign people are not subject to the whims of the United States. They have a right to self determination.
Yes an aggresive Egypt is not good news for Israel, but even if Egypt was taken over by an Islamist Regime, they lack the money, recourses and political will for a war with Israel they will certainly lose...
Israel would smash Egypt, again, and again, and again.
Nice to throw in your own personal hackery too with the liberal/minority thing. Doesn't have anything to do with this, but please continue...
I wouldn't have supported the Shah, or the Islamic revolution...
The ultimate plan is to overthrow Mubarek by islamists? Do you think all Egyptians in the streets, and on the ground are in on this plot? That's not what they're chanting, doesn't seem like that's what they want...
Should a brutal islamist regime take over, protests would begin all over again, and I cannot see the army supporting such a regime...
But continue, you know OH SO MUCH about this subject...
