Quote from BSAM:

Would the US government step as lightly as the Egyptian government has, thus far?

Luck ain't got nothing to do with it. Word travels fast. And, your "good" government understands the concept.

This was an outrage that should have resulted in the people responsible going to prison for civil rights violations. Since it was in utterly corrupt Louisiana, nothing much happened. As usual, Bush and his Justice Department were out to lunch.

They did get a republican governor out of it though, and he gave Obama some lessons in what leadership looks like during the macondo oil spill.

The lesson here is have a safe hiding spot for your weapons.

BSAM, what is your hangup with weapons kept for self-defense?

Which weapons? How many? Who decides? Me, the Constitution, some asshole in the Congress?

Should be the Constitution. But, when was it written? Needs to be updated.

Why would you not want me to have a shoulder fired missile launcher if I lived next door to you? (Honey, I looked over the fence and noticed BSAM was cleaning his shoulder fired missile launcher today. Your startled wife: Larson, you didn't allow the kids out at that time did you???) The Constitution says that I should be allowed to have one if I wanted one. Don't try to interpret, just go by what it says. AR-15s and Glocks weren't around then, either. Can't have it both ways.

Too many tragedies.

Have they been necessary in Egypt? (For the people, that is?)

BTW---I am not against a ban on all weapons for the people.

 

[Larson]

Tough, tough issue. My father-in-law still has the Thompson sub-machine gun used in the Pacific on Iwo Jima. The last thing I would want to do is ask him to give it up, even at 83 years of age.

Quote from BonScott:

The muslim brotherhood aren't that big in Eygpt. Its just westerners that are making them seem bigger because they are afraid of anything with muslim in its name.

Quote from bearice:

It may surprise you that Muslim Brotherhood were behind the Egyptian revolution of 1954, and the first president of Egypt was among their members (Muhammad Naguib)

Does the US fail to understand what will happen to its strategic interests in the region if the Muslim Brotherhood is the power behind the throne of the next regime?

According to this article the Muslim Brotherhood has been infiltrated and used for decades now by MI6 and CIA to undermine Arab Nationalism in the region, including Egypt under Nasser. It is worth noting that many Arab states enjoyed a far higher status and standard of living in the past, prior to being destabilized.
