Egypt
I’m watching right now that the Egyptian PresidentHosni Mubarak has stepped down and has givin power to the Egyptian army.
I haven’t been paying as close attention to all of this as I probably should be. So My opinion is limited at best.
I do have great respect for the people of Egypt. They rallied together (be it for better or worse) and have accomplished in (hopefully) changing thier nation (for the better). In all honesty America can take a few lessons from Tunisia and Egypt. These are two countries who have very limited right when it comes to being involved with how thier country is run. Where as here in the States we have the RIGHT to get rid of our government and institute a NEW form of government should ours become too powerful and stray from the constitution.
Please don’t think that I am comparing The United States to Egypt. Obvbiously we are not one in the same. However, we have, and continue to see, a goverment slowing gaining more power, slyly taking away our original freedoms bit by bit. Mostly by instilling fear into its citizens by promoting endless propaganda through the media.
The big bad wolf is going to eat you! And it’s going to breed and eat your friends and your family, and your children!
But don’t worry! Big Brother is going to make it ok. Just give us your money, and your guns, and your free speech. We’ll protect you and your children.
Any way, I could go on and on and all that. But I’m getting off topic. So I’ll cut this short.
So, good luck to Egypt. I truly hope that they get the DEMOCRACY they want.

Well, unlike Egypt we get to elect our leaders every 2 and 4 years, so we are essentially responsible for the shortcomings of our government. The problem is that most Americans are too busy to critically examine and protest their rights being violated. ex: People are still flying and giving up their 4th amendment because of the big bad wolf.

I hope the protesters go home now and lead productive lives. If it wasn’t for the military leading this revolt against the aging Mubarak, the protesters may have suffered dearly. Protesters in other countries that have their day of rage planned should remember it could end much deadlier than Egypt’s did.
