Tanks deployed in Egypt (falling, falling)

as I said, mubarak is going to fall.  I just hope that egypt becomes a democracy, and not another islamist republic.

The Egyptian people are 99% muslim, they don't do democracy, they do sharia.

Making the guy in charge of crackdowns on his own people Vice President does not seem to have appeased the opposition..... geesh, I wonder why?

So now the history of Egypt is at peril? I have read the opinion that the MB if they take over will blow up the Pyramids.

They might. They might also try to shut down the Suez Canal.

I genuinely feel for the administration.  there is no good play here.  and I feel for the egyptian people.  they are probably doomed.  in 5 years, they will want their dictator back.

If the Muslim Brotherhood wins, there will be no separation of Mosque & State. The religious minorities will be oppressed or killed. Relics like the pyramids will be endangered. etc etc

I guess they aren't Muslim enough. they remind people that civilization existed before Islam.

Same thing the Talaban had against the giant buddas in Afgannistan, they are there, blow them up. Kinda Neanderthalish.
