Originally posted by Sleepyguy Actually, compared to how the Obama admin reacted to the riots in Iran, I think we'd have to say they're improving. Still slow on the uptake, but improving.
I'd be all for lending them our president until they can elect a new one. He could give a speech declaring that this is Egypt's "Sputnik moment". Problem solved.
Improving?
Let's compare the two uprisings shall we? On the one hand, you had a press and US government that was lack luster in response compared to the Egyptian uprising. Also, everyone knew that even if every man, woman, and child took to the steets in Iran the revolt would be brutally crushed. Then we have Egypt in which everyone expects the current regime to take a hike, and will.
Yes. Solutions for Egypt. You started a thread about 'solutions for Egypt' and now you don't want to talk about solutions for Egypt anymore. If you wanted to talk about South Korea why didn't you start a thread about South Korea?

Here are some ideas.
1. Avoid theocracies at all costs.
2. Avoid terrorists groups at all costs.
3. Tell Obama and company to shove it.
4. Then free health care, cap and tax, stimulus package and TARP programs etc, etc.

These are not solutions, they are talking points. It seems you confuse the two frequently.
