@arabhamid:

 

The Americans work with whomever is in power. Just as the Americans will work with whoever comes out of the events in Egypt.

Here's the hypocrisy of people like you:

When Americans work with Mubarak, they're supporting dictatorship. When they ask for more democratic reforms throughout the Arab world, they're meddling.

These events show great hypocrisy followed by both Arabs/Muslim and US Govt .

When Iran was gripped by similar anti-govt protests, US seemed to be all out in support of the Iranian people and Arabs/Muslims called it a Zionist plot.

But in case of Egyptian uprising, it is opposite. US has not been vocal enough and Arabs/Muslim hail it as people's movement. 

Ultimately what ever the result, the Zionist will be held responsible.  These are the consequences of mixing religion and politics.

@arabhamid:

Concentrate on the rest of what I've written.

You don't want the US to meddle in middle eastern affairs, yet you blame them for not helping democracy advance in the region. You can't have it both ways.

more freedom needs also a lot of patience !i think the egypt Peace Nobel price winner, ElBaradei ,show a way for smooth transformation,today he said to the crowed

 

4.58pm: "Change is coming in the next few days," ElBaradei told the crowd, according to Reuters.

"You have taken back your rights and what we have begun cannot go back… We have one main demand – the end of the regime and the beginning of a new stage, a new Egypt."

"I bow to the people of Egypt in respect. I ask of you patience."

The USA is the prime exporter of democracy in the world. Democracy movements inevitably look to the US as a model.

Again, where did Mohammed El Baradei spend most of his life? Where was he educated?

 

If we look at the way things have gone for Egypt, although the US has supported Mubarak as the leader of Egypt (Mubarak himself is just the remnant of the previous Soviet-backed government of Sadat), it has nudged him towards democratic reform. 

 

If we look at history, and I can only think of Iran at the moment, Islamists only come to power when there is no democracy beforehand, and a power vaccum afterwards.

The Egyptian opposition leader, Mohamed ElBaradei, tonight predicted change within "the next few days" as western leaders pointedly declined to throw their support behind the country's embattled president, Hosni Mubarak.

In another dramatic day, thousands of protesters kept up the pressure on a defiant Mubarak amid sporadic violence and signs that the US and allies may ditch him unless he allows an "orderly transition".

ElBaradei, the former chief UN arms inspector and de facto leader of the opposition, called for the president to step down at once as demonstrators massed in Cairo's central Tahrir square to ignore a night-time curfew. ElBaradei, who is now backed by the powerful Muslim Brotherhood and other opposition groups, said he wanted to negotiate about a new government with the army, which he described as "part of the Egyptian people".
