Yes. The US needs islamofascists. Helps with our foreign policy. We don't bring more freedom to the world. We bring more conflict; with conflict we get to spend more on defense, etc. Push our way around the world. Its our world anyways.

I really do not think that this is going to turn out to be a good thing for anyone.

I heard a report that cites the Wikileaks documents stating that the Muslim Brotherhood is behind this..... with the US's blessing. And no, it's not good.

Saudi Arabia won't riot. They are extremists. You notice that the majority rioting in Egypt are all men? Why is that? Because they are part of the Muslim brotherhood that view women as less than human. So yep. Egypt will represent a second Saudi Arabia.

There are a couple of mega threads about it.

Yeah like when Iran overthrew the Shah Of Iran, that turned out well for everybody, especially Iranians.
Oh no, wait, it didn't. At least Israel is right next door to keep things in order.

All I can say is: Thank GOD I went to Egypt a few years ago, when things were "stable." Doesn't look to be a tourism destination for several years...

I think that there aren't more threads because some of the "regulars" can't tie the riots to Palin, Limbaugh or Beck so they aren't interested.

And I think they'd be surprised who they CAN tie the riots to.

What's the point of discussing that if the conservatives don't seem to be behind it?
