They are chosing between an oppressive government and another potentially oppressive government.
I would just leave that frigging madhouse.

[QUOTE=whell;162774]Protesters in Egypt certainly have Obama on their minds. The $1 Billion in aid we recent sent over to Egypt has apparently really helped our foreign policy efforts.
I see Egypt has it's teabaggers too. Only those ones can spell better English than ours.
In that battle both sides are ruthless dictators. So, in a way, they are right. You also need to remember-----They are also fighting Theocracy. They don't want their country run by religious zealots. And, I don't blame them. "Holymen on a mission from God" seem to be just about the worst form of dictator their is. They have a terrible track record.

Actually, I was thinking that this bunch reminds me very much of the OWS crowd, complete with the increase in sexual assaults.

Some of those OWS chicks were lookin' kinda hot. But, I imagine they smelled a little ripe after a week or so of living in a sleeping bag under the boxwoods.
(Disclaimer; This is not an endorsement of sexual assault. Sexual assault is NOT COOL. Not even on smelly hippy chicks.)

We used to call them Earth Mothers. In my experience, it was never remotely necessary to sexually assault them.

I'm curious to see what comes of it if the military takes control and ousts both Morsi and The Muslim Brotherhood.
Because most military juntas end up bearing a close resemblence to Communism.
Egypt could be screwed no matter which way they turn.
