   Even Greece wasn't completely democratic (subjugated women, slaves, etc.)  
Then there was the Althing governing over the Land Of Ice.

Do they want Democratization or Westernization?
When has Democracy ever really been put into act? After Greece.

But the egyptian people looked anything but distracted. They looked very 
focused, and aware.  Almost as if you could've pulled any one of them from out 
the crowd and they could have stated clearly their specific reason why they're 
there/what they wanted.

Everyone craving distraction. Revolt for distraction.

Bread and Circuses come to mind
 
Agree – that goes back to ancient Rome, gladiatorial  games sometimes lasting up 
to weeks, to keep the plebs distracted with violent nonsense. 

 
Same effect is achieved today with sports, television, tech gadgets, video 
games, celebrities and their antics, fashion and other trends, pop music etc 
(btw I indulge in almost all of the former, except fashion - I’m pretty much 
morbidly unfashionable - the question is how distracted you allow yourself to 
become….)

Some random thoughts.

Now everyone is looking only at Egypt, where the 'people' have won, and now have 
the Military in control. :/
What also seems to be happening is a systematic destabilization of the Arab 
Nations; Algeria, Tunisia, Lebanon etc etc..Could this isolate Iran? (more)
Are there any 'real' factions leading these 'revolutions'? Bread and Circuses 
come to mind.
One of America's biggest businesses is the Military, who sell to Egypt.
Rumsfeld shook hands with Hussein. Obama shook hands with Mubarak. Cowboys and 
Indians. Machiavellian devices?


What are others on The 'G'  thinking?

Yours truly,
Cynic.

There is a lot of serious talk that what’s happening in Eqypt is largely due to 
massive printing of cash causing food prices to rise everywhere. 

 
They’ve gone up something nasty in the last couple years in NZ / Aus. Almost $5 
for 2L milk. Anyone noticing the same in the UK / US / Eur / Asia?

I like the progression of Moe Barak's positions throughout this whole thing:
 
 - Go home(or else!)!  Go home now! (at beginning)
 - OK, I'll leave!, just give me 8 months! (til the Sept. elections)
 - I hereby proclaim to abdicate, ambiguously, forthwith!
                           ~~ signed, (still)thePresident of Egypt (couple of 
days ago)
 - Ok, I'm gonna go out of town for the weekend with the wife to go, um, "charm 
the sheik" at Sharm-
   el-Sheik, just forget about me for now; I'll be back in a few....
 -  Alright, if  I leave (big IF), I'll leave my Chief of Intelligence, Torture 
& Suppression in charge. You'll be safe 

   with him  (I was).  Be grateful.  
 - Alright, alright, I'm leaving. Peace out!
 
Pharaoh, hear thy People: go.
