Protests in Egypt becoming massive, situation volatile

[Moose]

So you mean democracy cant work in for instance Egypt, Iraq or Turkey etc. Interesting.

I believe that is thanks in no small part to the British legacy. The Indians took very well to their institutions and practices.

More than that, British India included Pakistan and Bangladesh, How is it that India succeeds where Pakistan and Bangladesh fail?

It would be a huge miscalculation to expect these troops to protect Mubarak and his cronies. the reason the generals have not cracked down is because they know that the troops will disobey their orders so they are just as much in trouble as Mubarak on what to do next.

From what I read troops marched to the streets but took no actions against the protestors because army enjoys high support from local population.

However this part worries me:

after Police were nowhere to be seen on the streets

if police ran away from streets Mubaraks done for, army won´t start shooting protesters and till now only thing that stood between protestors and Mubarak was police. With them gone, he will probably get out ASAP Ben Ali style.

Ha, oh boy that's sad......

and certainly NOT a product of Jewish culture which is theocratic in its essence. "NON-exportable" ? What about the American and French revolutions ? the universality of human rights and Enlightment values ? Your anti-arab racism is becoming more and more obvious and annoying. And adds to the standpoint of many observers that a democratic secular Egypt is the real fear in Tel-Aviv, not the MB (a useful strawman). Because the whole hasbara mantra "Arabs are inferior" would collapse.

Why do i get the feeling that the only reason you seem to care about what's going on in Egypt, is the hope that they would some how rise as some sort of super power and give troubles to Israel?

Anyway, having your dream come true, will be the best "hasbara" the right wing in Israel could hope for, because it'll mean that land for peace, simply doesn't work.

All Tel Aviv (the capital of Israel is Jerusalem, by the way) cares about, is wheter who ever is about to control Egypt next, will be hostile towards Israel or not, regrardless if they are liberal and democratic, or Satan worshipping psychos.

PS: accusing someone of racism towards one group of people, right after bashing another group of people, is simply adorable.

Well, you know it's not like they've been covering anything important happening in Iraq for the past 8 years...

Sir, open Quran and Hadith (for starters) than we'll talk.

If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. -- Deuteronomy 21:18-21

That's from the old testament..

I knew it was a bad idea to sell weapons to arab countries, because someday they can be used against ourselves. It will be the case if muslim brotherhood gain power.

And nobody gives much of a sh!t about Old testament in Europe, even Christians (Catholic or Orthodox).

Exactly. But this whole thing may lead us in a very "dangerous" (for heart-bleeding Euroliberals) direction that colonialism was not exactly this black and white thing. Ooops--I said it. I am now officially a: fascist, Europo-centrist, supremacist, devil incarnate, homophobe (I am not), Hitler and Stalin (put a check mark to what applies).

Well there's your problem. The only ones looking at the old testament for their code of laws are Samaritans. Judaism advanced over the centuries to the point the Talmud and Halacha, as well as other books written in Europe (Spain and Poland) are the religious codes, governed by modern democratic state laws.
Islam however still is a "by the book" type of religion. though there are modern types of rules, be it Hadiths and Fatwas, they are based on "What would Muhammad do" type of rules. When the rule of law in a country is an ancient book, you have yourself a recipe for, well, take a look at the ME.
