sjoerd ruurd...... ,   planet earth   (01.29.11)
"violence is not the response" this dictator will not resign voluntarily. other means to try to get a solution to the problems of egypt were ignored or violentely destroyed by the mubaraq clique. the egyptians fight for their lives in self-defense to try to survive. so all means are justified to get justice in egypt. police and army in egypt are also accomplice and guilty of crime when they kill/murder their own people. this refers to any people/country in this world. this is also a task for the un to mediate in order to try to avoid civil-war and war etc. the us-authorities have to mind their own business within their own territory.
2. Who said Israel
John ,   Accra,Ghana   (01.29.11)
is the only country that receives aid from the USA?..US aid to arab countries are more than what is giving to Israel.
3. Obama and egypt
mohsen   (01.29.11)
Obama has some kind of moslem background that he bowed to king fahd, he showed great deference to cairo, overlooked the blatant in your face lies of erdogan, yet just like jimmy carter, he gave the finger to the shah in favour of the vermin ayatollahs, now obama gives mubarak, one of the best arab leaders, the big finger. And egyptians under mubarak which allied to block iran is now being cheered on by the bastards of iran to overthrow mubarak and likely install the emoslem brotherhood(hamas) to the top spot. Be careful what you wish for. Media spinners saying this is real democrasy. Okay, take a look- you got kameinei and his stooges in iran, you have hezbollah running lebanon, tunisian with a dictator, egypt with the brotherhood using baradei(an israel hater) as a transition figure until they take power. Then they will cancel the israel treaty, hook up with hamas, hezbollah, syria and iran and then you have nuclear war. Then blitzer, roberson and and obama can thank themselves for democrasy movements.
4. The 'brotherhood' is quiet of it actually.

5. Hey Obama, its time you show us how
Eran ,   Singapore   (01.29.11)
Hey Obama, its time you show us how to do a "Jimmy Carter" number to Mobarak. This is how Democrat Presidents let down their closest allies in a jiffy. Just like the former shah of Iran. America, now its official. You are now a paper tiger thanks to Obama. Israel should stop trusting you Obama. I hope the American Jews get the picture
6. Simply Stupid
leo ,   nyc   (01.29.11)
Who does the White House think will end up ruling Egypt if Mubarak falls? And supporting the rioters will now will not win the US one iota of support later on...Deson't the White House see the tsunami coming ...the tidal wave of radical Islamic governments in the ME--- G-d help us all!!
7. obama saw his carter moment and failed, worse response than
ralph   (01.29.11)
than carter. he's dangerous to usa, world, west and democracy. as if islamists believe in democracy...you fools.
8. The muslum brotherhood terrorists can sit in the F-16s but
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (01.29.11)
all the time they spent on their knees on prayer rugs won't get the planes off the ground. Time for Israel to come and take delivery of some extra F-16s, they DO know how to fly them.
9. the smucks at the state department are at it again
izzie irgun ,   usa   (01.29.11)
Lets see, which arab nation has been the longest and best ally of the USA = Egypt And which arab country has done the most to support Israel our closest ally in the region = Egypt So what do the smucks at the state department do .. turn on murbarak when he needs our help the most. Is there any international challenge that Obama won't screw up? The US ought to be supporting Murbarak and working behind the scenes to forster greater democracy. Instead they ae undermining Murbarak with public lectures about reform, his policy is nothing short of plain stupid. Its like Obama wants the mullahs to run iran and the muslim brotherhood to take over Egypt. Watch this proble spread to Jordan and other countires creating nothing but hard core islamic staes where some form of democracy existed.
10. Where was Obama's concern during Iran riots?
Dave ,   Canada   (01.29.11)
11. Obama is totally clueless. When there was time to interfere
leo ,   usa   (01.29.11)
he decided to stay away. When there is time to stay away he interferes. Bush wasn't particularly good at it either, but can run circles around Obama.

My fellow Americans, we really did it this time. We are so-o-o dumb.

12. Egypt must reform from bottom up first or will be disaster
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (01.29.11)
If you start at top with elections then radicals just come to power. You must improve the lives of poor first and work up, with hospitals and focused aid, then education with training for better jobs. Its costly and slow but it works, where as military control is quick but loyalty is not always easy to maintain.
13. Remove aid and Israel will suffer.
Arik Silverman ,   Milwaukee USA   (01.29.11)
Egypt's aid from the US started when and because it signed the treaty with Israel. The purpose was to replace aid Arab oil countries would surely withdraw because of the treaty. The aid has continued as a "bribe" for Egypt to keep the peace with Israel. Remove it and see what happens.
14. 13 - Bullseye !!! ,...
split ,   US   (01.29.11)
15. NO Protest from U.S Over Islamist Iran's Extreme Violence
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (01.29.11)
against massive numbers of Iranian innocents. The Free World's people support the good Iranian people in their goal of freedom and human rights. The government of Iran is rejoicing because Egypt is now in danger of being taken over and becoming exactly like the ruthless, cruel Iranian regime.
