'Egyptian people will not let US pick leaders for them'

Egypt's president Hosni Mubarak has announced he won't seek re-election in September's vote - after more than a week of violent protests across the country urging him to step down. But the U.S. President has called for him to begin transition immediately - a shift in rhetoric towards the leader it backed for nearly 30 years of his rule. British journalist Yvonne Ridley told RT that Egyptian people will no longer let the U.S. pick the leaders for them.

@gallantventurer Israel has one problem with Arabs;the Palestinian situation;the Palestinian territory without the Hamas Government has an uneasy peace;the Hamas lead territory has a terrible situation-but that's what suicide bombing and stupidly shooting rockets into a militarily superior country will do for you..

[mrbriscoe2001]

@gallantventurer of course you said arrest mubarek;read your own fukin posts;why does US care about north Korean nuclear program;do some research;the lesder there is borderline insasne and isCONSTANTLY threatening to nuke the area ;you're a cold blooded sob;you Egyptians threw of YOUR dictatorship -but you're defending Kim Jung and Gadaddafi;what countryhas had more wars in the last 50 years than the Mideast?Once Iran has the bomb-every country in the region will get one.

[mrbriscoe2001]

@gallantventurer EVERYBODY complains;if the us does nothing-they complain-if the us helps muslim civiliians-you complain-ifthey trade with a dictator -people complain-if they embargo a dictator-people complain==it's a joke. that's what happens if you blame US for everything-people stop taking you seriously.

[mrbriscoe2001]

@gallantventurer America isn't world police;then why are you suggesting we should have arrested mubarek;?sorry-when you start contradicting yourself like that-that's a sign of just runaway hatred....
