What the "original poster" understands is that the Middle East and parts of Europe are falling before the Islamic onslaught. The cries for "democracy" in the Middle East region that have inflamed their "students" and the ignorants in their midst (and apparently in ours) are being backed by an "alliance" of radical Islamic organizations (The Muslim Brotherhood, for one) and the Socialist activist organizations here in the U.S. and abroad.

Mubarak is a bad guy and a brutal dictator, but he kept Egypt in line for more than 30 years and right now is not the greatest time for this ally to fall.

I'm not the only one in the world who believes this is Obama's "Jimmy Carter moment". History will mark Obama as the President who "lost Egypt".
