Dear Sunday talk producers:
Tomorrow, I know the topic will be Egypt. I don't want to hear from a bunch of washed up Middle East "experts", or failed special envoys, or any foreign policy think tank geniuses. I don't to hear a bunch of rich white guys discussing which Egyptian leader would be best for the region, or best for the United States, or most importantly, whats best for Israel. I don't want to hear from the usual line-up of talking heads in your "Middle East" Rolodex (oh gawd, and please do NOT drag out Dennis Ross.) I would like to hear from Egyptians, who the Egyptians want to lead their country. I want to hear what new government the Egyptian people want. How about interviewing......I dunno....SOME EGYPTIAN people?? I know where you can find about 80 million of them right now.

7. Listen, spoilsport
I suppose you want a couple of women on the panel when they're talking about abortion, too? Gah, I hate affirmative action! The only opinion that counts belongs to rich white men.

8. They can't do that.
Americans might see that there are some people in the ME that aren't irrational, radical Muslims.

9. That's not OK... we can't have the trampling roar of the bewildered herd
The Egyptian people don't get to decide their own leadership silly. That would be too much like "democracy" and we only give lip service to that. :sarcasm:
