Very important story, but it really belongs in the international section.

Always have to wonder at who is behind these type things. If it is the US, as is speculated in some corners, will it backfire and leave Egypt in the hands of even worse people from our point of View and make Israel in even a tighter spot.

Reports have said that the Muslim Brotherhood is slowly but surely taking control of the demonstrations.

So what? It is the biggest oppositional party and if there are actual free elections and that is what is decided then so be it. Egypt will be a client state either way as they'll get our money.

So what??? The Muslim Brotherhood is one step removed from the Taliban. They would turn Egypt into another Iran.

The outlook for Israel could be very bleak should the wrong faction(s) gain power.

Obama is not supporting Mubaric, which is a huge mistake. It is not about a fight for freedom, it's about keeping the region stable. This bodes ill for Israel, there may be another war in the near future.

This bodes ill for Israel, there may be another war in the near future. Israel has cause for concern. However, the military in Egypt is very stable and not a hotbed of radical Islam. They will keep things under control.

Reports have said that the Muslim Brotherhood is slowly but surely taking control of the demonstrations. If so, a Gotterdamerung destruction of the world awaits, because Israel will totally destroy with nuclear weapons any country that is in a position to destroy Israel. As we have seen in the old Testament and in modern history, Israel knows that you do not tolerate belligerence among fools.

They will keep things under control. exactly. there is always some uncertainty when your chosen dictator falls, but egypt isn't going to attack Israel the day after Mubarak steps down, and anyone that thinks Egypt won't remain an ally with the US is deluding themselves through fear of them praying 5 times a day or like Joe, looking for John's Apocalypse in magic 8 balls and tea leaves.

I do not like people who lie about me. I will ask you now to remove that lie. I have no fear of Islam, but I do believe in killing any and all Radical Islamics. There is a difference, you know, as I have written about THAT ISSUE for the past third of a century. The only good one is a dead one. As soon as you identify them you need to kill them. Don't hesitate for a second.

Don't hesitate for a second. reading comprehension my friend, 'or' is doing the operation above, you chose to include fear of islam with your prurient wish for John's vision to come to pass, not me, which is telling. Which brings up the question: is it really God's will or a prophecy when zionists have been trying to bring it to pass for some time now?

This bodes ill for Israel, there may be another war in the near future. Neither is McCain and a large section of Republicans. Are they wrong as well? Look you can't invade Iraq to spread Democracy in the region and then support a dictator in Egypt when the people want free elections. So why shouldn't these people be free to elect who they want? Just because it may be anti Israel isn't reason enough. The only thing we can do is withdraw any kind of financial support in the future. In the long run it's the right thing to do even if there are negative consequences right now. The Egyptian Govt is already going after journalists, I can only imagine what they have in mind once the cameras are gone if it doesn't get settled soon. The ultimate question is do we want to spread Democracy or not? You can't have it both ways.

Israel will use what ever it needs to remain free of Arab oppression. To them the only good politically active Arab is a dead one always rings true.

Get our men and women the hell out of there and let them fight it out.
