Egypt unrest

It's good to see popular revolts around the world. Tunisia most recently and now Egypt. How about Libya? Iran? Israel? Too many countries exist under repressive regimes. We can only hope that the Muslim Brotherhood does not fill much of the vacuum in Egypt, which could be real trouble for Israel and other neighbors.

Sometimes I get the feeling that this kind of unrest is what the Tea Party and Republicans want to see in the United States. As if Obama is anywhere near as repressive as some of these dictators. Give me a break. Obama is a moderate freakin' Republican, people! Maybe that's why they hate him. He's not hard-core Republican enough!

There are too many sources of info on Egypt to list any links here. I haven't been able to keep up with all of them. I'm sure you, dear reader, are keeping close tabs, right?
