Sounds like we got caught a little off-guard.

re: Updated Title: World Revolution 2011
Problem is we are in a messed up situation. Western powers have always pushed pro-western regimes in the ME. These regimes had to be authoritarian to ally with the West the way they did. I am a strong believer that all people have the right to live democratically and their society will push towards that direction against the status quo.
Unfortunately the status quo was pro-Western, so most of the stronger democratic movements in the ME have been anti-Western in nature. We are screwed whatever way we move on this. It is about minimizing the level of that.

It looks like Sulieman did meet with the MB.
In Egypt, Muslim Brotherhood reverses course, agrees to talks on transition Initially it sounds they didn't want to meet with him, but I think once they saw concessions are being made they jumped at the opportunity. Its a little weird hearing they want a democracy, but have it based on religious law. Didn't the puritans try that? |

Well my buddies parents made it home safe but it was a pain in the ass. They really did not know how big this was until they got out because the news had been pretty much cut off. Their travel agency refunded their money plus some and they also gave everyone cell phones to call home.

first, those types of extremist parties developed because they were not included in the process. They, and segments of the population, get alienated thus creating some of the radical opposition we see in the ME this day.

Jerry Sloan, Hosni Mubarak, who will resign tomorrow? These things happen in threes, don't they?
What a remarkable thing to watch right now.

I heard talk of a Warpath rebellion maybe calling for the resignation of a certain Diva Mod on this board -- but I doubt it will go very far

Is handing Political Power over to the Military really granting the people of Egypt freedom? It sounds like Martial Law to me.

On the money. It will be interesting to see if and how the military creates a democratic regime or if Egypt will be a military dictatorship.
