Oh, NO! They Can't Blame This One On Bush.

As Egyptians take to the streets of Cairo, protesting the Government of Hosni Mubarak, and demanding his resignation, Americans watch uneasily as unrest permeates the Middle East.  It is difficult to tell what the future outcome will be, especially in Egypt.  What began as a complaint of the corruption in the present government and the establishment of a Democratic government, has now been joined by the Muslim Brotherhood.  That, fellow readers, is BAD NEWS.  The Muslim Brotherhood had its origins in Egypt.  It is mostly composed of Islamic traditionalists with ties to terrorism and Al Qaeda. Many of them are radicals who despise Western civilization and particularly the United States.


Egypt is of special importance to the United States as it is strategically placed to protect the many U.S. interests in the area.  It is also the only country in the Middle East which has  a decent and necessary acquaintance with our other ally in the region, Israel.


It is our opinion that the United States  government has wasted precious days and hours before contacting the Egyptian authorities.  It is reported tonight that "U.S. President Barack Obama called on Egyptian authorities Friday to refrain from violence and to reverse any actions they have taken to limit access to the Internet in the wake of protests there.  


Obama said he spoke to the Egyptian president after he announced plans to dissolve his government and take steps with a new cabinet to implement reforms that will revitalize the economy and create more jobs."


"I told him he has a responsibility to give meaning to those words, to take concrete steps and actions that deliver on that promise."


Reports are that Mubarak refuses to leave,  which is what protestors want.  He has ruled Egypt for 30 years.  Tonight the news from Cairo report that the Egyptian President has asked his cabinet to resign and promises to appoint a new government by Sunday.


The fate of Egypt is yet to be decided.  But after two years of hearing apologies for our country's actions and having the Bush Administration blamed  for every tragedy that befalls on our country and the world, it is gratifying to bring  you proof that former President George W.Bush and members of his Cabinet were visionaries and foresaw to warn Egypt of the problems they faced long before this week's revolt.
