Who do you think is best able to govern Egypt?

[kentuck]

[Turborama]

1. #3 after a fair and transparent election.

The world will have to accept whoever the Egyptians legitimately choose.

[sharesunited]

2. What is the problem with the high polling answer? The Palestinians voted for Hamas.

Democracy in action when the People have been indocrinated with hate for so long.

That is what Egypt has done with our foreign aid. Promoted hatred for America and Israel.

[Turborama]

4. Egypt has promoted hatred for America and Israel with our foreign aid?

Where do you get that info. from?

Also, this is about democracy in Egypt. Please don't turn this into a I/P argument which results in this OP being sent to the dungeon.

[EFerrari]

6. What?!

[Hannah Bell]

8. and the americans voted for bush. after being indoctrinated as well.

what's your point?

[sharesunited]

13. My point in responding to the poll is that democracy following a thorough mind poisoning

is meaningless.

How do you expect the People to vote when they have been fed hate for decades?

It's just an ironic sidenote that American aid to the Egyptian government has been used to prop up its own popularity by denigrating its sponsors.

So now we are engaged in purging the double dealing hypocrisy and replacing it with a hatred of purer pedigree.

Mubarak is a hypocritical double dealer.

But now we can usher in an era of top notch religious assholes in Egypt who are perfectly capable of co-opting the secular desire for self governance with a socially imposed deference to whomever speaks most convincingly on behalf of Allah.

15. OH BULLSHIT. no more than anywhere else. the ruling classes of the world feed crap & bullshit to

everyone.

either you believe people can find their way through it or you don't.

americans have no room to babble about propaganda & indoctrination.

[ClassWarrior]

16. But these are brown people fer cryin out louddd!!

:sarcasm:

NGU.

[sharesunited]

17. Touche, except Americans have plenty of room to babble about negative spin with their own subsidy.

And then pin hopes on "democracy" poisoned with negative spin.

Yes, it's complicated.

But arrest of clerics would be the prescription.

Those guys are not good for anybody.

[Hannah Bell]

20. no clue what you're talking about

[sharesunited]

21. It's ok. We'll root for a democratic uprising without a religious poisoning.

Taking bets?

[Hannah Bell]

22. lol. talk to the fundies here at home why don't you. the ones running the military for starters.

[CreekDog]

25. that makes two of you

:rofl:

[Hannah Bell]

27. speak for yourself

[CreekDog]

28. Then three

:rofl:

Wasn't making fun of you. You said you didn't know what he was talking about. What makes you think that poster does?

[Turborama]

29. Four, actually.

At least.

[CreekDog]

24. but the protestors aren't anti-American

perhaps you need to wake from your fantasy world and actually look at what's happening.

[hlthe2b]

10. WTF? Is that Sarah Palin expounding on her knowledge of

ME affairs? Your post signals an incredible level of cluelessness. :shrug:

[sharesunited]

14. You'll need to be more specific. Calling me Sarah Palin is a bad start.

[hlthe2b]

18. having lived and worked in Egypt,

I doubt I ever found an individual to be preaching as much hateful stereotyping as you just did. To the contrary, most do like Americans, though not our government and its policies. And, no, they are not taught to hate, though your RW stereotyping of all in the Arab world is noted.

[CreekDog]

26. i dunno, but did you ever get an answer to your birth certificate question?

you know, how you thought Obama was going to have to show his "vault" copy of it?

[CreekDog]

23. i admit, when i pass a car wreck, i have to turn my head and stare

:wtf:

[ClassWarrior]

3. Me!! Pick me!! Pick me!! I'd look good wearing one of those goofy hats and...

...dancing to the Bangles.



NGU.

[EFerrari]

5. A good idea I heard was for Elbaradei to run an interim government

while the country settled down and put elections together. He's a very decent man and has expressed his willingness to do that.

[roamer65]

7. Call an election ASAP with UN monitoring and let the people decide.

[hlthe2b]

9. Problems with the poll...

Muslim Brotherhood COULD certainly front a candidate that could be democratically elected. :shrug:

[kentuck]

12. Very true.

and if democratically elected, they would merit credibility.

[Abq_Sarah]

30. I doubt the military would tolerate that for one second

[TheKentuckian]

11. Other: The Egyptian people

[rabs]

19. Egyptian armed forces

could be called to form interim government until clean elections can be held.

Even some in MB agree:

(From AJ blog site)

1:13 am - A senior Muslim Brotherhood leader speaking to Al Jazeera Arabic, our sister station, has said that Mubarak has to step down and the military should intervene.
