Reply #14: Resentment yes, war no [View All]

I really don't believe that Egyptians, having finally broken that fear barrier and overthrown their government, want to commemorate that with a war. The main thing missing in Tahrir Square, something we've seen at almost every Arab rally in the past, were anti-US/Israel slogans. The anger was directed directly at their own government, its brutal security apparatus, and the corrupt system that prevailed.

How angry do us liberals get when repukes criticize Obama for not fixing all of our problems in three short years when it took 8 years of bush and his cronies to get us into this mess? Egypt and the Arab world face mountains of challenges ahead of them built up over decades. It's not going to be pretty in the short-term, but I'm hopeful that the uprisings will have a favorable ending.
