1. You can ALWAYS count on the US SOLD-OUT Media to inject Islam and FEAR into
every issue! You get the picture. ;)

2. The Iraqis got "freedom" over the stability of the Hussein dictatorship.
I didn't hear any right-wingers protesting THAT change.

3. Mona's is way positive about all this . . .
I won't say too positive, because I have no way of really knowing what's coming for the average Egyptian. I hope the average Egyptian doesn't get rolled over.

5. I've noticed that you've been really on top of getting us good info about this historic event
and I wanted to thank you. While Al Jazeera has been my go to news outlet, you've become my go to DUer during this revolution. Thank you for your commitment.
