Can anyone, and I mean anyone, name a single Arab Democracy ? You know, that can change governments without gunfire and killing being involved

Good, very good. May it succeed indeed.

true ..Egypt Borders Israel ..only a dictator is allowed to rule Egypt ..Democracy is not allowed in syria/lebanon/Jordan or Egypt . if they turn democratic in Egypt ,they would eat you for Breakfast .. 80 million will be walking to Jerusalem ..they are willing to give the first 10 milions as Martyres .

behind these "democrats".

your not very informed avi #2, read what tom#4 has to say.

you can't expect peace.

One Egyptian Dictatorship will just replace another It's always been that way since the time of the Pharoa's Farouk, Naguib, Nasser, Sadat, Mubarak, Dictators one and all Your thoughts on this are as rational as your thoughts about Israel, which doesn't say a hell of a lot It's the nature of the beast, there is no Democracy in the Arab world If there is, name it !!

El-Baradei is the Ayatollah's man in Cairo.....6 million dollars donation from Admadinerjacket in his bid for the presidency....just saying

This 'democracy' protest if successful will lead to them voting in an Islamist theocracy...and we all know how that turns out (cf. Iran, Gaza, Hezbollah)

That's coming up, any day now, cheers!

Do you really think that a backward, desperately poor country can eat a nuclear power for breakfast? Well, of course it did happen to the United States when a handful of barefoot Somali warlords using vintage Garand rifles and some rusty old RPG launchers defeated the full faith and credit of the United States armed forces, but Israel isn't the United States. The blue and white do not turn tail and run. Care to rethink your incredibly ridiculous post?

fled to Britain, now I read in breaking news that "Mubarak ruling party says it's ready for dialog" Don't be surprised if this is just the first crack in the wall that brings down the ruling parties all over the Middle East. Some good may come of it, (I doubt it) but not until long after all the dust settles. Until then expect nothing but chaos, mayhem and radicalism.

Experience says that there's no good reason for optimism.So the people revolt against the current tyrants and they're ousted,but what then?All the so-called opposition groups,financed by who only knows whom,that have never actually done any opposing suddenly emerge from the woodwork. Suddenly the protesters find that their revolution has been hijacked by new tyrants who think that they have a natural right to rule.Just like the first Iranian revolution was hijacked by Mullahs and their recent attempt is being hijacked by Mousavi. Unless the Egyptian protesters look to themselves to provide the new direction that the Egyptians need,their revolution will be hijacked by self-servers like ElBaradei,a slot-in replacement for Mubarak,or the Muslim Brotherhood who smell blood and know how to pose. The Egyptian revolution has to be much more than anti-this-regime,it has to be determinedly pro-democracy and on its guard to stand a chance. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

When will they burn out the Iranian spies who've already infested Syria and Lebanon, and are working hard to do the same in Egypt!?!

Baredei is enemy of Israel . President Mubarak is a good friend of Israel .

there is no doubt that baradei, a useless UN inspector has tried to overthrow the egyptian governement inciting the protests. Mubarak, one of the best arab rulers now is being threatened by baradei who has not even run as a candidate in the elections and doesn't even live in egypt. he should be arrested, tried and then dispatched for treason against the state.

After the coup in Yemen El Baradei called on Egyptians to do the same thing and overthrow the Mubarak regime. Now he is acting the peacemaker wanting calm but Mubarak to be ousted. Its also very convenient this peacemaker who wants Mubarak gone happened to challenge for the presidency. CALL FOR RIOT CALL FOR OVERTHROW OF MUBARAK CALL TO ELECT HIM El Baradei whilst acting the western style champion of democracy and peace is acting like every other crooked arab who wants to grab power. Overthrow the old government then take the crown for yourself. For the sake of stability the last thing this region needs is Mubarak to be toppled especially by an ambitious trouble maker like El Baradei. We need Mubarak to be president for life and for his son to inherit the job when he dies. Its not democracy but its stability and thats what this region needs.

How stupid can we get? Does it need a Jewish settler living in disputed territory to remind other Jews about the importance of standing by our friends, including Arab ones? True that Mubarak sometimes speaks out against our right to live in every part of our Jewish homeland, but consider action more than words. 30 years of peace with our neighbor has to be appreciated for what thats' worth. Egypt & Jordan have serious scumbags waiting to overturn that record. Maybe, the US should be considering providing an economic package that can reach those in need in those countries. However, the US forcibly selling their brand of democracy, even to the extent of abandoning a proven ally in the process, is both demeaning and insulting. Beware about the use of popular slogns concerning a people's revolt against injustice, this is no more a spontaneous uprising then Iranian goodwill towards Israel.

El Baradei sold out the free world with his lying about Iran's nuclear bomb program and now he is back in egypt supporting the muslim brotherhood. In fact, he moved to Vienna because he understood that he would shot if he stayed in Egypt but now he thinks he can help overthrown the government and take over. He is wrong and maybe dead wrong .. Mubarak is not going anywhere and clearly controls the army and the police. Baradei is only going to enusre that more people are killed by upping the demonstrations. I am rooting for Mubarak as he is the only real democratic frinedly ruler who will keep the peace. With Baradei, egypt will end up in another war they that can't win.

Thanks to all avid Zionists here for confirming what was already known, while "Israel" brags about being the ME's only "democracy" (for Jews only) it backs Arab brutal dictators who only serve to keep the quiet and masses busy with daily economic stresses. After 30 years of loot and plunder, Egypt is bankrupt economically, politically, and even morally. Its standing in the NAM and even Arab world has been reduced to zero, thanks to the corrupt Mubarak regime. Now Mubarak, Zein, and many others will face trial for plunging their countries into the abyss of oppression and poverty. Sit back and enjoy the show, there is simply nothing under the blue sky you can do. People power is unstoppable.

The Egyptian government made an announcement that they were willing to listen to the public. Egypt needs to know how much of a popuation can be managed. Shelter, food and clothing are just the basic necessities and then comes the life lived. The government should be and is very capable of taking care of the problem. It's going to all be a matter of devising a system. President Mubarak has always been a sensible man. It's just the matter of getting everything working right together. It's not worth throwing the government and economy into turmoil. Egypt is not Tunisia. Just take it one issue at a time. Is there enough food to go around? Does more land need to be cultivated? Is there price fixing going on? Is there anyway to organize the employment situation? Is it feasible to retire older workers out to bring younger workers in? Is there government housing to help the lesser fortunate? Is there a taxing system where money can be generated to help these situations?Those are just some sample questions but there could definitely be more to ask and get answers to. These kinds of conditions are affecting countries and are going to be affecting other countries as well. To find a system that works is needed. President Mubarak can handle it. He could very well just have been made aware of how much attention hasn't been given to the people of Egypt. President Mubarak is a very good man.

actually,....

He wants power - he wants to take Mubarak's place. If he succeeds, Egypt will go nuclear. He is not pro democracy as he pretends to be. He will be ruthless and calculating and Israel will have another Iran or worse to contend with, closer to home.

Raíss Mubarak is the present pharao of Egypt. Some of you have said : he has kept many years of peace with Israel and it is virtually true. By the way, how did the Hamas weapons get into Gaza ? How can it be that the pharao of Egypt does not know what goes in and out of Gaza ? So let's say that he allows Israeli tourists to come into the Sinai for holidays and at the same time these tunnels are bringing in Iranian weapons to harm Israel... The Egyptians are false peace partners. Like, "I love you, but I wish you would be killed "... Mohammed ElBaradei would at least give Israel the chance to say what they think of Egyptian diplomacy, which would be : No more messing around or you'll see the Sinai from the other side. I tell you, don't wait for democracy in the Arab world any time soon. For them unfortunately, democracy is a darling somewhere in a few light years from today...So, it's fun to dream of it ...
