Egypt ...

Nothing to say until the dust settles. Mubarak will either stay or go; it's just about the amount of human life squandered before it's over. I'll just say this: It's about time we realized it is not in our best interests to make deals with corrupt regimes with questionable human rights records. We've been propping up that government for 30 years. Naturally, if Mubarak is overthrown, "Yankee Go Home" will be the watchword. Think about that in concert with the fact Egypt is part of the foundation for the Mid-East peace with Israel. We pay them $5bln a year not to shoot at Israel. What do you think would happen if a new government comes in with a hostile agenda toward Israel?

We could have big problems.
