quade 3 #3 February 11, 2011 QuoteWhat's the opinion of Mubarrak? By the time most Americans wake up on Friday, he'll probably either be dead or have committed mass murder. What he should have done on Thursday was take a couple million in gold out of the bank, wave goodbye and hop on his jet to France.

popsjumper 2 #4 February 11, 2011 "Egypt's military threw its weight Friday behind President Hosni Mubarak's plan to stay in office through September elections while protesters fanned out to the presidential palace in Cairo and other key symbols of the authoritarian regime in a new push to force the leader to step down immediately. The statement by the Armed Forces Supreme Council — its second in two days — was a blow to many protesters who had called on the military to take action to push out Mubarak after his latest refusal to step down." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/ml_egyptMy reality and yours are quite different.

CanuckInUSA 0 #6 February 11, 2011 QuoteBy the time most Americans wake up on Friday, he'll probably either be dead or have committed mass murder. A little over dramatic I would say. Granted I am NOT American (there must be something in your water), but this North American woke up and found neither one of your scenarios to be true. Yes people in Egypt are still unhappy, but no Mubarak is not dead nor has he committed mass murder as you alleged that he would. Are you a little upset that your messiah, savior of the world was caught with his foot in his mouth yesterday?

airdvr 197 #8 February 11, 2011 QuoteA little over dramatic I would say Read the updates.... Update at 10:16 a.m. ET:Al-Jazeera TV reports that one person has died and 20 injured when a police station in north Sinai town of El-Arish came under small arms fire during protests. Update at 10:08 am. ET: Reuters, quoting witnesses, reports 1,000 protesters in the north Sinai town of El-Arish have exchanged gunfire and tossed firebombs at a police station. No more dangerous place to be as in Egypt right now.

I have a theory there was a conversation that went something like this: Mubarak: "What if I don't want to resign?" General: "Row 8, Plot 30."

I think the bigger question is what happens if this turns out to be a completely peaceful transfer of power and turns into a true democracy for Egypt?

ryoder 1,384 #17 February 11, 2011 Agreed. At this point it is simply a military coup.

Next might be other countries in North Africa, maybe South American countries and then the Chinese people. What a lighthouse Egypt has just given to the world, after Tunisia.

Same as always. But this time, we'll let the Eurotrash be the bad guys. The Suez under enemy control hurts them a lot more than us. They can do their own dirty work for a change.
