Ok Sammy, serious question for you: If the Egyptian people are allowed to choose their own leaders in free and fair elections, the Qutb Islamists will certainly end up ruling the country, right? I mean, this is pretty obvious- you wouldn't deny that much, would you? So why would you want free...

Oh yeah, there's a great idea: Let's treat all our allies like crap, and see how that works out for us.

Has everyone forgotten the 1990's?! Israel did everything it possibly could to try and finally unload the occupied territories, and the peace-loving Palis did everything <i>they</i> possibly could to fuck up the deal. (Yeah, yeah- I know, It's all Israel's fault the Oslo accords fell apart...

Oh, you're just here to troll! I get it now. :cool:

Here's a surprisingly necessary reminder of what real slavery looks like: <img src=http://karandoni-racism.pbworks.com/f/1173269029/Slaves%2520in%2520chains.jpg>

The market doesn't see it that way. Bad jobs numbers would cause a gap down because masses of unemployed people are bad for consumer spending.... at least that's the narrative CNBC would go with.

I remember when Arafat 'renounced violence'. I also remember what that was worth.

I'll say it again: The Muslim brotherhood is about as 'moderate' as the Aryan Brotherhood. Trying to whitewash and legitimize these guys is a colossal mistake, and Obama is fucking this up big-time.

55,000 on first try. :D

Revolutions bring change, but they don't always bring improvement.

Muslim Brotherhood Breeds top Al-Qaida leaders, as well as the entire Hamas organization. They get credit for not <i>directly</i> blowing anyone up for 40 years (a major accomplishment for a Muslim organization, I know), but that's about it. Overall they're about as moderate as the Aryan...

Ricter, the Taliban aren't Arabs. Sammy, doesn't Mubarak's announcement today satisfy you at least partially? After all, now he's officially gone in a few months- but you're not happy at all. It's almost as if you don't trust him to run free and fair elections if he sticks around. :p

Awesome work, Shortie! In fact, this is the best stuff you've ever posted. After reviewing the partial data you've just supplied, I now believe ET polls are in fact a useful contrarian indicator. Thanks!

Because Marxist economic systems have proven themselves to work so well over the past hundred years? :confused: Let me share an important universal truth: <b>Wherever men cannot be assured they'll be able to keep the fruits of their own labor, there never will be much fruit.</b> Please think...

Unlike you, I firmly believe that I have no right to chose for the Egyptian people, that leader would be produced by the next transparent elections. -----> Where did I say I have any right to choose? How is naming your desired victor anything like choosing for the Egyptian people? That's...

1200 <i>next week</i>? That's a pretty bold forecast. Anyways, this poll has been voted overwhelmingly bearish. So my question is: Does anyone know/remember previous 'coming week prediction' polls here on ET? Does anyone know/remember if the market ended up going in the direction we thought...

Unless you believe that launching attacks on Israel would serve Egypt's best interests (it wouldn't), it seems like we're probably on the same side here, as we both want the exact same thing for Egypt (freedom, human rights, secularism, progress and prosperity). So, who do <b>you</b> want to...

Why? What's the motive?

I'm a Zionist (and I also doubt you even know what that word actually means) and I'm telling you that if Egyptians want a free and democratic government with no ambitions to attack Israel, then <b>we are 100% fine with that.</b> No matter who winds up leading Egypt tomorrow, Israel will only...

CNBC. But seriously, do you have someone better? The Egyptian street isn't exactly a prime pool of qualified leadership to draw from.
