How was I generalizing?

Here's what you said:

The pals are hell bent on destroying Israel and killing Jews.

If you can't see the generalization, then there is no hope for a discussion.

What about the peaceful transitions that have happened thousands of time since?

Yes, what with over 20 assassination attempts, 4 that were successful. That's not peaceful. There are extreme-minded people everywhere, and to suggest that it only occurs in one part of the world is absurd. Either way, I was specifically speaking to Erod who posted the false analogy.
 
Can you say "Radical Islamic State of Egypt"? I knew you could!

No, that's very specific.

How many resulted in an overthrow of our government? None of them? That's what I thought.

Yeah, no ****, huh?

Don't forget the Carter Doctrine. You don't think the US is going to let some Islamic radicals control the Suez Canal, do you?

Under this government, I think we will.

No it's not. Your statement makes the assumption that all Palestinians are hell bent on destroying Israel and killing Jewish people. It's apparent you have no idea what a faulty generalization is.

Your statement is utterly devoid of common sense. In case you didn't know, the Vice President belongs to the same party as the President. The assassination of a President will not see any changes in party policies. It's obvious you only support revolution if it is imposed by America. Your hypocrisy has already been exposed.
 
Sounds like there are a few people here that think Mubarak stepping down was a bad thing?

Conservatives here believe people like Mubarak should not succumb to the will of the people.

I think that's how a military coup occurs. It's by force. Anyway, here's the lady that started it all.

It's more of the doubt that the new government could result in a greater threat to our country. Maybe you're the one generalizing?

Kind of like Iraq?
It's funny how some people think it's great to spend a trillion dollars and thousands of lives to remove one corrupt dictator but it's horrible when it doesn't cost us a dime and any lives to remove another.

So fear is a reason to give up on democractic values?

I don't believe that the future government of Egypt will be corrupt. But there still is a threat, like it or not. I hold my freedom dear, and I'm glad for their revolution.

More like: there are a buncha people that think that anyone who isn't cumming in their pants about Mubarack stepping down must be a Mubarack supporter.

Damn, the fallacies keep on coming.

Nope. But it doesn't diminish that fact.

Except it's not a fact... It is not a fact that the new government will post a threat to America.

The new government will be better than the previous one by a longshot. The potential threat to America is currently nonexistent. The surpression of the Egyptian people for the last thirty years is not.
