- The Founding Fathers would be proud of the people of Egypt...and Disgusted with the people of America
- The American people today have been cowed into passivity by an irrational fear of terrorism, laziness and mindlessness.
- Egypt have been living under a state of emergency for 30 years. ButAmericans have been living under a continuous state of emergency for 10 years straight
- Mubarak was supported by the military. But the military -industrial complex has taken over America as well (moreover, there is a tradition in countries like Turkey for the military to ensure that religious fanatics do not take over the country)
- England oppressed America. We were the downtrodden who broke free. But now, America has helped to repress the Egyptian people (and see this and this).
How did we get on the wrong side of history?
