Arab Spring showed its real face in attack on Israeli embassy in Egypt

[King_David]

Obama busy with West Bank settlements and the 1967 borders, didn't put in the time and effort for a genuine Marshall Plan that could save the land of the Nile.

Now we see the Arab Spring in all its glory. Democracy in Egypt? Not yet. Enlightenment in Egypt? Absolutely not. So far the Arab Spring has brought us the Black Hole of Sinai, which sucks in all kinds of Islamic zealotry. The transformation of Egypt from a moderate state to a rocky one that cannot even maintain public order. A mass convergence on the Israeli embassy in Cairo. A violent break-in of that embassy. The flight of the Israeli diplomats from that embassy in the dead of night, like a gang of thieves.

U.S. President Barack Obama gave a nice speech in Egypt in June 2009. He gave a forceful speech about Egypt when he helped to bring down Hosni Mubarak in February 2011. But in the past six months Obama has done little to restore and to stabilize Egypt. That is because he was so busy with West Bank settlements and 1967 borders that he did not have the time to put forward a genuine Marshall Plan that could save the land of the Nile.


On Friday night he saved the day, but that wasn't enough to change the overall picture. On Obama's watch, Egypt is increasingly sinking into chaos while the Egyptian-Israeli peace is rolling into the abyss. Unless he wakes up soon, Egypt will be to Barack Obama what Iraq was to his predecessor, President George W. Bush. Obama will bury the peace that President Jimmy Carter brought.

3. If Israel had acted in a more civilized fashion

It would be an entirely different situation. Turkey was a good friend and Lieberman PUBLISHES plans to attack it. Egypt is a friend, and LIeberman deliberately antagonizes its people.

But assholes like lieberman and his party have brought the eventual death of israel as a likely reality. For myself, I regret it. For myself, I regret what the tea baggers are doing to our country. Lieberman should be in jail, not in office. He is a disgusting racist, fucking pig.
