leeslover Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I think the most important thing to focus on is that Ackey was owned. By Bob. Apart from that, the people with power/influenc in Egypt will sort it out just as it suits them, and probably laugh at the idea of democracy. But then, "The West," liked Mubarak precisely because he didn't stand for quite what, "democracy.," would have brought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futchers briefs Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 If you get to the resorts and away from the rioting, don't think you're safe, as there's a good chance swimming in the Red sea at the moment will see you returning home with an arm or a leg short - even the Egyptian Sharks are at it - especially if you're Russian!

Ah, thanks, Fox News. Good god. Clearly, the problem is that the USA haven't gotten involved enough in world affairs to make everything OK.

Mixture of options 3 and 4 I reckon…then watch the :censored: hit the fan in Washington A mixture of 2 and 4 I'd say. There's no way the Americans will let anything that doesn't at least look Democratic come from this, much as the current regime was the same. However I think we will see a swing towards a more extreme view on religion and freedom of expression - something the Americans will not give a :censored: about as long as it stays out of their back yard.

beag_teeets Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Can't see a religious extremist govt being formed, they are just like us, they'll be happy to have a bit of a bash around eid and the like but most egyptians aren't radical extremist muslims just like the majority of us aren't radical extremist christians. After the Mubarak years the last thing they will want is another dictatorial leadership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
