    The only thing that I can agree with him in regards to Egypt is that, the military is in control and nothing has changed in terms of power.

    He goes on to say openly and proudly that, "People from Egypt are not very well educated". The sheer arrogance of this fool is simply astonishing.

    Ferguson completely lost me there and to be honest, I'd be happy if I never have to hear of this man again. lol

    Pretty much everything I've said about egypt is on par with what this guy said - except if you look at the dates of my posts and the airing of this interview, you can tell who is cow-towing to who.
    Which parts do you completely agree with?

    EDIT: My own misinterpretation of runningman has caused me to delete this line.

    "Pretty damn well" is how "journalists" speak today? Of course she's up in O'Commie's butt.

    the army have been using the past 30yrs in development, they made sure they got their rights through out the period and got their share unlike the citizens that has just been quiet and suffering, weather your rich or poor we all suffered from the chaos, traffic if ur in ur fancy car or hell in public transportation, we have the same public busses since 1980s, dirty streets and when the whole world advanced ahead of us we were going backwards altho we are one of the greatest civilizations in the world, and amongst all the crap it still remained one of the most amazing places on earth to me, and i visited more than 18 countries around the world.

    RM, the army will be there just till the elections which shud be in the next 6month, and not really a dictatorship plus come on their has been dictatorship there for 30yrs im sure they can wait on a 6month one thats by their choice.

    what happened in egypt showed lots of hidden things and made it clear, it really showed the true colors of many people


    P.S. the US aid is much appreciated tho if it comes for the right reason and goes to the right place
    Have to say this makes me feel really good! The Egyptian people should be very proud. This got a big coverage on Q@A here last night, and aside from the fact that everyone had to tell Egypt what it has to do now , it was quite good!! Loved the coverage of the the cleaning and painting going on.

    Obama was right ! This belongs to the Egyptian people. !!

    it varies from country to country. just look how well clinton's foreign aid appeasement package to north korea worked out.

    i once believed ron paul was correct on this issue, but i've come to find that he's heavily short-sighted. he talks much of blowback in terms of our foreign policy, but never considers the blowback from inaction.
