For some people, freedom and democracy are platitudes.
You being an exellent example.
The people who support freedom, democracy and support the will of the Egyptian people to overthrow their dictator can say so clearly.
Do you have some problem with cognitive skills? I'll say it again, maybe this time you'll understand it. I do not support Mubarak.
People who support Egypt remaining a brutal oppressive dictatorship can't come out and say it, since few people would buy it. Instead they have to resort to spin and fear mongering, while claiming they abstractly support freedom and democracy, just not in this specific case.
I support it in this specific case and hope Egypt elects a gov't that benefits its people. Not start needless wars, circumcise young women, force men to wear beards, and stone 9 year old rape victims to death. That isn't fear mongering EAO, that is what happens in an Islamic state, where the there is no separation from church and state.
Either you support freedom and democracy as a fundamental human right or you don't.
I do, I know you don't. Which is why you support Hama, a group that came to power by throwing its opponents off roofs.
Your true colors are showing CB.
I know what my colours are EAO. It's you that hasn't clue one what yours are. But thanx for the personal attack anyways. I'll remember this post the next time I see you whining about being called a Nazi sympathizer.
A very delicate question.
Dear Gawd, someone gets it. Thanx EB.
Sometimes doing something could lead to some severe backlash.
I agree. Hence my delicate stance here. I'm no fan of anything stemming from the Muslim Brotherhood. But I'm very much a proponent of freedom and democracy.
If there was an official invitation to go help, then (depending) we would have to go , but would we be ready to take the blame if it goes wrong?
No one is ever truly ready for blame. But in this case, the west will be damned if they do, and damned if they don't.
If Egypt elects a repressive regime, that starts another war with Israel, slaughters its non Muslim citizens, and so on. The west will be accused of sitting idly by and doing nothing to stop it.
