Biden is the vice president, my vice president if he is complete idiot I would like to know... Now we know he is
Unbelievable! Here we are on the brink of possibly having Egypt taken over by Islamic fundamentalists and some are still pointing a finger at biden because of his comment. It's like the house is burning down and someone's complaining that they forgot to take out the garbage. Sheesh! It doesn't matter! get off the partisan BS.
Can anyone here in this thread name 1 country in the middle east besides Israel that is a true democracy? Just 1...........anybody? Egypt is a democracy by degree if you factor in the rest of the middle east crapholes. Egyptians had much more freedom and stability than any other ME country. And if Mubarak goes, I guarentee that they will have alot less freedom when the mullahs take over. And I predict that if egypt goes so will Jordan, Yemen and the prize....Saudi Arabia. Iran will be the main player and the price of gas will be 20.00 bucks a gallon if you can find any. We are on the edge of some very deep, worldwide dodo. Forget about Biden, we all better hope that Mubarak can restore order for the sake of our's, Israel's and the rest of the world's future.

I'm not sure we are there yet. From the reports I have been reading and listening to, the fundamentalists are not a serious political force .......... yet. But I agree its a serious risk.

Israel is not a Democracy. Hell, Israel doesn't even have a Constitution or a Bill of Rights. Israel will nuke itself before it allows any group other than Ashkenazi Jews to rule the country.
I am confused- I believe the Egyptian people now want Egypt to become an islamic state, meaning it will no longer be democratic correct? This will not be good for us.
No you got it all wrong. The Egyptian people now want Egypt to become a democracy, meaning it will no longer be a US-sponsored dictatorship. So yea that will not be good for us I guess.
Cyprus, Iraq, Lebanon, and Turkey would be the other countries in the mideastern region with some form of electoral democracy. Yemen has a form of democracy, though it doesn't appear to be working all that well. Iraq's "democracy" is something of a joke, and Lebanon has its share of trouble.

Iraq was more of a democracy before the invasion than it is now. Al-Sadr will take over Iraq the minute the US pulls out.

Obama will go down in history as the president who lost Egypt
Who knew this is the kind of "smart" power obama was talking about when deciding to "reset" those relationships (that never really needed resetting in the first place).
