It'll blow over soon hopefully, the US and Israel won't allow Mobarak to fall.

I think it's part of a larger Arab/Muslim reform movement.  It's going on in so many countries right now it's not even funny.

What about the fact that Mobarak was obviously corrupt?

What about the fact that the opposition is obviously led by extremist mullahs demanding Sharia law and total war with the West?

step 3 would be "renounce the Camp David Accords peace treaty with Israel, causing the US to cut off that $3.5 billion USD in aid they are giving every year right now"

Have you been watching the news at all? The Muslim Brotherhood is not leading the protests.

The Ayatollahs weren't leading the Iran protests in 1979 either.

History repeated itself, just look to the french revolution and libertarian movement in Europe during the 1700s-1800s
in essence there are two groups the liberals who want public education and all that stuff, and the Islamic extremists who want a Muslim radical in power. the overthrow in Tunisia started this whole thing ff and yes its part of a bigger movement and its not stopping here. Its for the most part the poor (all of Cairo), lower, and middle class.And once the groups are satisfied they will back off probably

This is good news for Egypt, while it's not yet as profitable as crude oil, turmoil can still bring in a lot of money and give jobs to many Egyptians.

As long as the military remains stable, Egypt won't become Islamist (as happened in Iran in 1979).  The fact that they're on the side of the people is a bonus.

This.

I think what's been going on is interesting, I think if the people are motivated and educated enough (and in a lot of these cases, it has a lot to do with youth who are university-educated, at home or for a bonus, abroad in a G8 country. They're the ones who are pushing this and if they all stick together and keep the attitude they've had going thus far, they'll make some pretty significant strides toward their democratic goals.

I know this totally plays into recent government's plots to stuff democracy up the middle east's assholes, but as Afghanistan & Iraq proved, people won't accept it if it's forced upon them, precisely because it was forced. It has to happen naturally, which I think is what we're seeing now. Democracy isn't the best solution, but as far as what various people from over the world are willing to accept & abide by, it's the most appealing thing manageable until the generation comes that'll decide to stop fucking around, get along, move on and accomplish greater things already. Like finding out what's beyond the universe.

There's a lot of awesome stuff out there waiting for us to discover it. That's kind of the point of being human, right, it's why we're so special? We can realize and appreciate the epic. Instead of tusslin like schoolboys we should be out there just fucking doing it. God damn. End rant.

Also... I think the internet has made this possible. Seriously. No way that many people could have coordinated themselves without it.

lulz.

But the internet has played a role in this.  I'm sure the fact that a lot of social networking sites are blocked in some of these countries has somehow strengthened their unification, or something.  I don't know.

Consider this: A pack of wild Niggers.
Savage, slavering Niggers nearing your white home. Trampling your white lawn. Raping your white daughter.
And you can't do shit since they're savages. The Nigger leader grabs your wife and fucks her with his shaman stick.
The primal Niggers finally dominate your household. They watch barbaric shows on TV and you are forced to be their slave.
Such is the downfall of White Man.
