GostHacked Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45352471/ns/world_news-mideast_n_africa/#.TsZrTVat06w CAIRO — Over 50,000 Egyptian protesters flocked to Cairo's Tahrir Square Friday to pressure the military government to transfer power to elected civilian rule, after the cabinet tried to enshrine the army's role in a constitutional proposal. If the military does not hand over control to the civilian government (or what will be the civilian government) we will see more demonstrations and ... more blood on the streets. I have a feeling we will see this in the other countries that had their Arab Spring. Quote
olp1fan Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 and in italy and greece the people seem to not be rioting over unelected officials from brussels taking over their governments go Egyptians Quote
jbg Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 There will be no happy ending in Egypt. If the demonstrators get their way the sizable secular minority will face a bloodbath. If they don't the demonstrations won't stop. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

Fundamentalists always refuse to allow other citizens to make their own choices, especially if they are holding guns! There's going to be a lot of blood, I'm afraid. I wonder if the same folks that wanted us to stay out of Afghanistan want us to do the same with Egypt or Syria? As the death toll of innocents mounts up you have to be a hard case indeed to be indifferent.

Oh please,, NATO has never been interested in saving innocent civillians from their own country If NATO went anywhere it was to protect their own interests We should not get involved in any civil war Quote
