[QUOTE]How convenient too, that this favoured autocrat not only sanctioned torture in his own land but was willing to undertake it for Britain and the United States when [U]invited to do so[/U]. Some here have told me that domestic torture surged courtesy of the blessing bestowed upon it by Coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. We reap what we sow. [/QUOTE]

If Oprah gave you the booze and the keys yes. In some countries Oprah would be in prison for doing just this.

Not quite the same thing. Those tanks can only be made in the US while ak47 are made world wide. AK 47 has been around for 60 years while the Abraham has been around for 15-20 max...so not quite same my patriotic friend. Also the US gave those tanks away for "free" to promote "democracy" in Egypt. Look at them go now...protecting democracies left and right.

Re: What is Going on in Egypt?

Look at this fucking bullshit: [QUOTE]CAIRO - For eight days, pro-democracy demonstrators roared their belief that Egypt's 80 million people were ready to oust President Hosni Mubarak and start anew with elections.

But the melee that unfolded Wednesday in the capital when Mubarak supporters stormed the opposition-occupied Tahrir Square suggests that there are many in Egypt who are deeply invested in the current system - and will fight to preserve it.

While protesters call Mubarak's three-decade reign a disaster, a cross-section of Egyptians has much to lose when Mubarak leaves office.

[B]Businessmen with rich government contracts, civil servants, security officers, ruling-party activists and poor Egyptians who fear the instability that has descended on their country in recent days - all have a stake in ensuring that whoever comes after Mubarak changes as little as possible[/B].[/QUOTE]

and by "littleman" do you mean "man with a big dick that could split my mother in two" kind of littleman?

What is funny is your prostration of presumptuous play, by perpetuating idiocy with your persiflage.

Don't thing you're smart because you own a dictionary faggot.. and by faggot I don't mean it in "dicks in butts" to disrespect gay people, I mean it in that grade 7 kind of way on the play ground to make fun of you.

You're out of your league here Ill

if whoever was driving purposefully hit those protesters, why did they not go after many more as it drove down the street?

i honestly don't know what i would do if i were in that situation. a street before me, filled with an angry mob. me, an american. i don't know if there is any option to drive at 2mph down the street, but i won't put myself in the driver's shoes, whoever was behind the wheel.

I have to say I thought the same thing when I watched it. It reminded me of the Truck driver driving through the LA riots who was pulled from his truck.

Re: What is Going on in Egypt?

not sure who was being transported in that van but the driver is prob egyptian and i really dont think it was stolen, the driver prob had orders to not stop for nothing and run over anything, so i assume there was some foreign people in the van.

why would you say the driver is egyptian?

the van clearly veers right....and all i can think of was that the driver lost control a little bit? i'm not sure how you can conclude the driver was egyptian off that, without more?

Re: What is Going on in Egypt?

I'm beginning to understand your optimism for egypt. it's unfounded for the most part, imo, but i understand it at least.

i think there is a very very slim shot at a new liberal experiment taking root and growing into something sustainable.

but hey, without optimism, what does one really have?
