@ReliableInsider well put.

[ReliableInsider]

The question is who will the army choose to defend:

the autocrats, the theocrats, or the democrats.

@LadinJan

If this is a time of Islamic Revolution, then America -should- interfere.

The people of Egypt deserve freedom and democracy, not theocracy.

Separation of Mosque and State means that Muslims are free to worship Allah, but also free to vote and elect their own leaders.

One man, one woman, one vote, one time and then never again . . .

is not freedom. It is slavery.

If Allah is a strong god, He has no need to control the government.

@blackknight509 American support!! A military dictatorship is being held together by US silent consent for Mubaraks clinging to power with armed thugs on the streets trying to intimidate the population into obedience. I hope they continue to fight for their freedom and democracy whatever the consequences for American foreign policy.
