Well, folks, the New Egypt hasn't taken long to rear its ugly head.
This guy is always referred to as a "moderate" by the media here. With "moderates" like this, who needs the Muslim Brotherhood????

"Egyptian Opposition Leader Ayman Nour Declares Camp David Accords "Finished"
Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion: Egyptian Opposition Leader Ayman Nour Declares Camp David Accords "Finished"


The writer of the article correctly states:
"With democracy comes responsibility. The Egyptian people may find that out relatively soon, as even some of its non-Muslim Brotherhood emerging leaders seem hellbent on war with Israel......

If Egypt elects Nour President, and Nour follows through on his threat, the Egyptian people will get the democracy they want, and bear the consequences."


The belligerence and the threat to stability that will be coming from the new Egypt is obvious. They will be climbing over each other in an effort to prove to the masses who can be more warlike.

How sad, irresponsible,..........and dangerous.

Some candidates will probably try to get votes with anti-Israel rhetoric, but I doubt this would lead to war. War with Israel would mean disaster for any country in the Middle East.

Right now it doesn't matter who is elected president. For the time being the power will reside with the military. Fortunately the Egyptian military has no stomach for a war with Israel. At least right now.

Macho posturing is apparently a way to win votes in a macho society. Surprise!

The reasoning of a 3rd grader.

Because they can point to one person in one country of Millions that said something mean to Israel.

1)That means it's a valid threat.

2) That means that one person speaks for the majority.

3) This instantly transforms Egypt into some military power to threaten poor Israel.


Folks you have some right wing Israeli citizens in this forum that think you are fools.

BTW Israeli leaders routinely threaten to attack other countries and they have the means and the brutal nature to do so.

That threat is 100X more real than what some political clown is Egypt is doing by trying to rile up his base.

Israel hasn't helped itself by pushing for puppet government in Egypt. And I doubt people in Israel would be happy if they dealt with a government that was someone's puppet. Now is not the time for it to complain. Now is the time to reap what it sowed for decades.

If Zionists aren't happy with change in Egypt, too bad for them. And Egypt belongs to Egyptians. They will learn to deal with that fact.

Exactly, The people of Egypt will get what they desire/ deserve.

It is not up to America or Israel. - Wow such arrogance amongst the zionists.

Yes, we can hope. But religiosity plays a role in Israeli politics. Heck it plays a role here in the USA. Being a realist, I don't expect it to be much of the same. You've got a problem with that?
