Reply #2: Egypt is a goddamned powder keg and US helped make it that way [View All]

propping this guy up because he was accomodating to Israel and despite being a ruthless dictator and lately in order to provide cover for their fuck-up in Iraq, reverse this policy at least rhetorically and start talkin shit about "Democracy" for the middle-east, which has in effect fueled mass movements taking the ideal of real democracy at face value even from us, thereby destablizing his dictatorship and calling attention to what a scam his "election" was. Now they are rounding up people in broad daylight to send them to some dungeon somewhere, looking all brown shirt, people who were simply calling for democracy. Now this 78-yr old fuck is trying to look all anti-US for the people there, too little, too late. US foreign policy is coming unglued right before our eyes-everywhere you look. Good job. And if you think restaffing our foreign policy makers in 2008 with the Jamie Rubins of the world (now working for Rupert Murdoch in the british Fox equivalent-SKY News) is gonna change things...
