ParticipantFires are burning now on the outskirts of the US Empire, while it rots economically from the inside.
The revolutions sweeping throughout the Arab world’s accomodationist regimes from Eygpt on the west and surely the Jordanian monarchy on the east. Secret documents discrediting Abu Mazen and the Palestinian Authority’s collaborators and boosting Hamas. Hizbollah selecting the new Prime Minister and gaining de facto control of the Lebanese government. Moktada al Sadr, influencing events in Iraq in concert with his Iranian allies while US power is sapped by the occupation there and in Afghanistan.
These events are tied to US hegemony and therefor our economy, it’s all connected. Every single thing we tried to manage has blown up in our faces. Our ME policy as been a monumental failure from an imperial perspective.
Our assessment is that the Egyptian government is stable and is looking for ways to respond to the legitimate needs and interests of the Egyptian people,

ParticipantWhile its great sport to demonize Hosni Mubarak, let’s keep some history in mind. For three decades he has cooperated with the US and Israel, and enforced the peace accord his predecessor, Anwar Sadat worked out. In the roughly three decades before the peace agreement, Egypt fought four wars with Israel. Let’s hope and pray Egypt does not go the way of Iran after the Shah. America once had high hopes for Iran during its revolution and before the extremists took over.
