Yep there I go again embarrassing myself....funny thing is we can get energy out of "algae" so I'll take my chance with Americas resources and American ingenuity.

Yes? So...what?
Do you know that in the past they were ruled by a king named Faruk who stole more? And people lived on $1 a day only?
And in 1953 a young group of officers toppled the government, later bringing Jamal Abd-Al-Nasser to power? And Egyptians loved him although they lived only on $1.2 a day? And there was so much corruption that Nasser himself became disgusted? So what makes Mubarak's regime today so terrible?

I believe that is a question only people in Egypt can answer. And they should decide about their future...

I believe at least part of their answer was to take to the streets and demand a more democratic government.
