    I'm personally shocked that there is trouble in the Middle East (or, abutting the Middle East, I guess).

    Yeah, they are generally so peaceful over there. Its not like they have all the hateful rhetoric like we do...

    If this were East Asia I could make intelligent and informed commentary on outcomes. But, this area of the world is one that our own State Department has VERY few qualified 'translators'' and advisors for? So I'd be careful with the idea that there is some kind of Islamic Brotherhood rooted in Sharia Law, etc., readings of what is going on. We just don't know enough. And a populist uprising is as plausible an interpretation. Americans are too PRIMED against that part of the world politically, and for obvious and, often, valid reasons.

    So let's hold back a bit before 'we' decide history. History has a way of going in its OWN direction. That's why it is NOT a science? Otherwise we deny the Egyptian people 'free will' and the ability to MAKE their own HISTORY? Or NOT?
