Egypt's government has been drowned in the bathtub!

[Kablooie]

The government has been shrunk down to nothing.

Since there is no government, there will be no taxes, ergo the RICH will be TAX FREE!! Hooray!

This is exactly what the Tea Party and RW politicians have been slavering over.

Absolute freedom for all! No more governmental restrictions!

Now they can watch and see their dream world arise from the uncontrolled chaos and violence that is the alternative to government.

1. Some governments could use a dip in the bathtub..

Hosni's was one of them.

3. Agreed, but there are a lot of innocents that will be drowned along with him.

5. They were just drowning more slowly before..

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible also make violent revolution inevitable.

The blood is on the hands of the dictator.

6. Sigh. I guess you're right. But violent revolutions are so ... well ... violent.

Wish there was another way.

Come to think of it, our government, even with all it's flaws, is an attempt to create another way.
We hopefully will continue to have regime changes without violence since it is structured into our constitution.

And Egypt has a chance to emulate America now, even though America is one of the reasons for the riots.
There's an irony in there somewhere.

7. I read something interesting about the French Revolution a while back..

I'm not positive this is true but it was said that the execution rate before the revolution was higher than after the revolution, the difference was that it was the poor and powerless being executed before the revolution while the rich and powerful were headed to the guillotine after it.

9. People often have problems when the ridiculous becomes a truism

8. I see no parallel whatsoever

between the current unrest in Egypt and conservative efforts to shrink government in this country. It's an absolute non sequitur.
