Egypt controls the Suez Canal. The Muslim Bro'hood controls Egypt. Oil travels through the Suez Canal.

It's all about the oil. Always has been. Always will be.

It is a problem for all of us.

You can all play Chicken-Little if you want to. Me? I'm going out to dinner with my wife after work....there will be plenty of oil in the morning. I'm sure that i'll be able to tank up when i need it. Might cost more, but hey, what else is new?

Boy i like you, and thanks for truth, some cannot admit to it, but appreciate people like you. M.E. will always be screwed up, because of the mindset of these people.

However that being said, it appears in the M.E. people are wanting democracy, and doing everything in their power to try and achieve it.

Sweep what under the rug? That revolution played itself out in the media in front of billions of people. Who's hiding anything?

I don't know what Obama sold. Politicians on both sides were pretty wary of the protesters, while other politicians supported Mubarak. I didn't even bother listening to such dissonance cuz i didn't give a damn one way or the other.

The call was the Egyptian citizens to make. I support what they support. If they like it, i love it. I'm not so arrogant as to think they should give a damn about what i think of their revolution. If they want the Brotherhood, GREAT!!! Makes me happy as a hog in slop. My business is what's going on here.

If the Egyptian people think it's awesome, then it is. You're not Egyptian, are you?
