Maybe I should keep my ideas to my self because I really don`t know what is going on in Egypt,but if Obama is telling Mubarak to resign because of the protesting then how come Obama doesn`t resign. We have been protesting him for almost 2 years and he won`t.Obama needs to take care of our problems, not theirs.

This is absurd….
Obama isn’t doing enough. Obama is doing too much. Nevermind the fact that he isn’t even President of Egypt.
I think it’s time to stop displacing your problems with reality onto Obama…. and start facing the fact that the world is complicated and often unpredictable. Obama did not cause this to happen. It’s been true as long as humans have been concerned about such things.

The forces of anarchy (Iran) is at work destroying Egypt no matter what is done! Based on President Obama’s track record they should do just the opposite of whatever he says!

I don’t think the Egyptians may be collectively wise enough to avoid a Reign of Terror or the September Massacres like the French Revolution caused, or even Iraq in 1958.
Arab mobs can be bloodthirsty, although Egyptians pride themselves on being civilized.

Too much like Carter-afraid of making the wrong decision, he makes no decision-remember the Afghanistan troop increase dithering? Now everybody in Egypt will hate us-instead of the usual 80% that already do.Never paid attention to the warning signs in Lebanon-does he even know what Lebanon is? “Oh,thats right-Beirut! Didn’t he play in Cominsky Field for the Cubs?”

EMMUDE:
Umm, for 1300 Muslim lands were the refuge for the Jews of the world. They aided Muslim in their conquest of Jeruslaem from the Romans. For them it was liberation.
Making peace with Israel does not constitute accepting the demolition your homes/ villages and accepting eviction from any land that they want and that you have occupied since before Jews even arrived. Yes, Jews were not the first in the holy land, nor were the Muslims responsible for their eviction.
As for kill or be killed, the Muslim empires were conquered by the Buddhist branch of the Mongols as well as the Tengri Turks, guess what… they converted just as most of the rest of the population over time. Sure they had their black episodes with violence, both as perpetrators as well as victims (Palestine is undergoing one such even just now), just the same as Christianity or any other religion, yes including the peaceful Hindus and Buddhists.
Rob Miller:
Actually its the fault of the US that it has such despotic rulers. They are all US allies, even good ol’ Saddam before he went rogue.

Being President is an incredible responsibility and a job that is bigger than life and has to be taken very seriously. Might mean the President has to meet with his cabinet members, his opposition in Congress, his generals and all that job related stuff you know – duties our President is known to ignore. Presidential vacations and lavish entertainment, golf and basketball – might not even be on the radar screen – nor would month after month of pushing through unconstitutional legislation. In other words – reading bills and understanding international affairs – SERIOUS might be the operative word where POTUS is concerned. Experience, qualifications, might be major when considering a candidate for the Presidency.

Bull. Made up concerns fed to ABC journalists to “photo op” a message in order to give the Kefaya that is protesting something to hear.
Obama positions and idealogy do not hold up to reality

Obama took his victory lap a little to soon. He couldn’t wait to pat himself on the back and in the process lost his credibility with Mubarak. This is what happens when a despot and a big ego collide. Now the Egyptian people will pay the price for Obama’s arrogance.

Sarah,
The Muslims do not care about making Peace with Israel or with any Jews. The Qu’ran teaches them to Kill anyone that doesn’t believe in the Qu’ran. Muslims have been trying to destroy Jews for the Past 1300 plus years just after Muhammad finished writing the Qu’ran. Before Muhammad, they were of various Religions in the Region including Catholic, Christian, Buddhist and other Religions. Muhammad went to each of these countries and forced all of them to convert to Islam or be Killed. The Muslim Brotherhood’s (whom Obama Supports) wants to destroy Israel and also America. This is NOT Israel’s Fault.
