Holy crap guys.
Did democracy actually reached the middle East for real???
Egypt... Now Yemen... I hope they succeed!
Isn't it cool to actually witness a clean revolution that leads to democracy without actually having to bomb the shit out of them?
It think its awesome!!!
Go Yemen!!!

People are acting as if Egypt is magically fixed. How many revolutions have been successful throughout history? How many have failed in France alone?

As long as Middle Easterners and North Africans believe in their stupid shit dick religion it doesn't matter what kind of protests they have. Idiots will always insist on having idiotic governments. So fucking celebrate all you want.

this thread: simple moralist leftist position. its a great thing: until stability in the region crumbles b/c of behind the scenes strings being pulled by obama (a materialist muslim) as they install a new president in 6 months after the media storm dies, against the will of the public, oh by the way the prezident is going to be muslim and a tyrant, yay, congradulations democracy (majoritarianism) wins again! the people have spoken
if anyone remembers what i was arguing from the other thread, the better part of it is occuring b/c of this

well it's not like it's magical happy land now, but they are making progress and no one invaded them. just shows you that there is absolutely no real reason we ever had to be at war, just greed.

see what i mean, everyone thinks everything is ok, yet does not recognize the politics behind it. this mirrors exactly what I was proclaiming in the other thread. fuck democracy

Just because egypt is going to have a government elected by the people doesn't mean it's a good thing for the United States. Remember that most of the countries in the Middle East are third world, and the people there are (more or less) fucking crazy. Read this http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2011/02/01/clueless_in_washington_108731.html
"According to a Pew opinion survey of Egyptians from June 2010, 59 percent said they back Islamists. Only 27% said they back modernizers. Half of Egyptians support Hamas. Thirty percent support Hizbullah and 20% support al Qaida. Moreover, 95% of them would welcome Islamic influence over their politics. When this preference is translated into actual government policy, it is clear that the Islam they support is the al Qaida Salafist version.
Eighty two percent of Egyptians support executing adulterers by stoning, 77% support whipping and cutting the hands off thieves. 84% support executing any Muslim who changes his religion."
So, I don't think we can expect a Barack Obama getting elected in Egypt

Right, but are the people in that poll really the same ones in the streets? The youth in any country are generally more progressive, hopefully they'll have the vision and power to not just hand over the state to the Muslim Brotherhood, despite how fun it would be to see Israel shit their pants.
Still, even if one of these countries (Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen) succeeds in establishing civil liberties that reach beyond the state religion, it would be an oasis that others might look too. This will be a good gauge of the strength of fundamentalism over there.

It would be fun to see our strongest ally in the middle east shit their pants? What happens when Egpyt goes after Israel too!? Then the U.S has to get involved, and that's not "fun". That's just asking for WWIII. Hahah how funny would that be for thousands more Americans to die?? Ur a douche.

The Egypt situation is not as volatile as the newsmedia are making it out to be.
The military is on our side, is heavily secular, and pro-Israel, and they're basically running the country right now.
Since we're such good friends with the military, our task right now is to nag the hell out of them to hold free, open elections by nagging our own congresspeople to do just that.

I don't really believe in those numbers either, and I know a lot of people in Tunisia, I asked them about islam and they say the people want a democracy not a religious goverment, so that's not a treath for Tunisia at least from what I know. And egypt seems pretty progressive to, and as someone pointed out in antoher thread about them, the egyptian military is pretty much buddies with the US, they trained them gave them a lot of money, and they are the strongest force in the state.
Would america really stick it's neck out for Israel? And why?
