Enlighten me as to what YOU think the results will be of the actions taken by a portion of the Eygptian people.

What effect will it have upon the just governance of Eygpt?

What effect it will have on the Middle East?

What effect will it have on Israel?

What do you think Iran will do (or has done) to take advantage of it?

What do you think the United States will do (or has done) to take advantage of it?

and...

do you think any country should 'take' advantage of it?

I think the people of Egypt will be holding elections on schedule.

I think Hosni Mubarak is trying to guide it to minimize chaos.

I think the middle east will continue to be confusing to Americans.

I think Israel will be fine and will continue to get along with Egypt.

I think Iran is shooting their mouth off....
A new revolution will come to Iran and their theocracy will come to an end.

I think the USA should be keeping a low profile and let the people in the middle east sort out their differences.

What happened to all the opinionated people out there...

Perhaps this is to touchy a subject.

I can be opinionated, but at this point, it's more about "see more before trying to even make conjecture".

Personally, I find it fascinating that a the (mostly young) people of this country actually got off their buns and started such a huge uprise. Here we sit on our lard buns and gripe, but these people are simply mavericks, especially in such a country as Egypt. Thank God it's not Tiananmen Square-like. But these people got out of their chairs and comfort zones and are trying to cause a change. I don't know that they will get what they want, and may those who have suffered and lost rest. But, seriously, they have some serious issues and took, hopefully, pro-action. It's phenomenal.

I think it is islamic motivation and it is bad news! There is a large population of religous zealots and they control too much policy in the middle east as it is! I think isolationism doesn't work and as a super power with the wealth we demand as citizens your naive to think we can do it without getting our hands dirty! I think if we had more diplomats like Bolten we would be a stronger nation for it! I think America has every right to slap other counties around if they don't play ball! I think if these countries want true freedom and liberty then start killing people and demanding equal rights for all and keep a seperation of church and state! I think America should support foreign wars for the freedom and liberty of all people but at the same time keep our people safe!

You do have a point of sorts... However if you gathered hardline Christian Protestants and Hardline Christian Catholics together, gave them guns and told them to decided who was in power the blood bath would be quite shocking.

Muslim Brotherhood is predominately Suni... Iran backed 'activities' are predominately Shia...

These two factions would fight each other before they would turn on the world... Each seeks to mold Islam in its own image...

Rather than allowing Islam to mold them...

The greater part of Islam is simular to the greater part of Christianity in that they will not allow this...

Thanks for asking.
I went to bed.
I, for one, see Sharia in power as a thing that is most oppressive.

JMO, but, watch the change in attitude.
