February 11, 201115 yr Egypt is free. What happens next is the big question... Free, but led right now by the military. Our idea of freedom that we are blessed with is often far beyond the idea of freedom for much of this world.

February 11, 201115 yr Things will get more interesting now. If I was a betting man (just kidding I love betting) I'd bet this doesn't end well for the revolutioners.
February 11, 201115 yr Wait until the Muslim Brotherhood takes charge. They will wish it was like before. What's the line from Pete Townsend? "Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss" Not sure if one dictator is worse than another.
February 12, 201115 yr I had some friends over there, but came home about a year ago. Mission field. Our daughter was supposed to spend a few months at the American University at Cairo for her major, thank God she changed it to a minor and didn't have to meet the requirement.
February 12, 201115 yr Our daughter was supposed to spend a few months at the American University at Cairo for her major, thank God she changed it to a minor and didn't have to meet the requirement. Every thing happens for a reason, perhaps god knew your heart couldn't handle that kind of stress....
February 12, 201115 yr The sky is falling! The problem is Egypt is no where close to ready to have an election or even a democracy. The only viable party right now is the MB. So what you are now left with is the military running things and that's never good for anyone. I am not saying Mubarak should have stayed in power but the statement that Egypt is free is far from reality.
February 12, 201115 yr I found the comment in the earlier thread (Clyde?) about the demonstrations comparing Mubarak's intractability/cluelessness to Ceaucescu an intriguing one when contemplating Mubarak's ultimate fate.

February 12, 201115 yr Not ready for a democracy? How so? So their ready for an election tomorrow? Or next week? or even in 6 months? They don't have a constitution or even a viable second party. Egypt has a long way to go and to say they are free at this point is very premature.
