Egyptians are really angry at Mubarak and his government.

Thanks to television, the Internet, etc., more people are able to see what life is like here and elsewhere. This is a genuine people's revolution. What direction it will take, no one knows at this point.Alan Carubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901162110385985193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-29724065106775561982011-01-29T07:46:02.512-08:002011-01-29T07:46:02.512-08:00Could all the turmoil we are seeing in Muslim coun...Could all the turmoil we are seeing in Muslim countries be an offshoot of perceived weakness on the part of the United States and her allies! I for one have always felt this President is firmly on the side of the Muslim world as a whole. Certainly he is the most antagonistic President as in his stance on Israel I have ever seen. As we now are at the point in which we have our elected officials telling the Muslim world this country is full of racist hate and an administration that in almost every stance is extremely ” Anti-American ideals” why should one be surprised that these radical Muslim Fundamentalists are taking their shots now? After all, the administration only yesterday as an example declared the Egyptian government was stable. No surprise from the blind mice running the show in D.C. now is it?joetotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-30081512586436415532011-01-29T05:23:36.810-08:002011-01-29T05:23:36.810-08:00@elmerbittlinger.
