What is Going on in Egypt?

Something big is going down in Egypt.. I will admit I haven't read much on this yet, does anybody have a clue?

I hear they are rounding up the Muslim Brotherhood. If that is the case this should get real interesting.

La revolution that has been expected from the pressure people feel there, people in egypt have been boiling from the harsh living standards and the crazy things they see around them, you see poverty and extravagant sitting right next to each other in traffic, people throwing food, and people that cant even find bread, just too much has been happening in the past 20 years and they want the president to resign after 30 years of ruling.

Israel?

naturally, the stability of the middle east is a GOOD thing. if you've got an anti-semitic lefty dictator (the one, I'd assume, you'd prefer) stirring the shitpot out there, that's a bad thing. mubarak has kept good relations with israel as well as his predecessor had, to similar degrees.

in b4 "jews control the US" because that's precisely your next, pathetic, move.

well, his predecessor had gone to war with israel and kicked em out of the land in 1973, then the treaty was signed due to several other reasons and unwillingness from the other arab countries to support him to get them outta the area completely...so he signed the treaty and of course the US had a big role in this treaty.
