I am amazed at the lack of support from the USA. But then I can see why because the pressure on Obama from Israel is great with all the insinuation he is a failed leader because he has allowed this to happen to Mubarek.
What seems to be missing from the mind of the USA leaders is that we don't control everything in the world and there are times when we're unhappy we can't throw money or military force at our problems.
I cannot believe how we have been propagandized to believe Israel is the only democracy and the Arabs don't want democracy when it is us, the USA, that has been paying the dictators of Egypt and Jordan, and holding hands with the dictators of Saudi Arabia, to keep the people from being free. What a immense tragedy that we have built the peace, what little there was, on the bodies of the oppressed.
My best guess - and it is only a guess - is that the Egyptian army will move against the people tomorrow, if not a day later. The move will be caused by attacks on the army by Mossad types who seek to undermine the movement.
No other conclusion is possible. Tomorrow with its million person march is the climax of the uprising. With American and Israeli help, the people will be suppressed.
I don't see any other outcome. The US, Israel, Saudi adn Jordanian leaders do not want Mubarak to leave power. Obama is already being terrorized by AIPAC into folding his tent. The only thing that will stop the massacre is if Obama finds the courage to stand up for democracy.
Excellent article. Too bad so much time has to be spend writing about a man with no chance of being elected.
Thanks for your sane voice of reason through these days of revolution in the Arab world.
