The People of Egypt, a nation on the other side of our world, is in political turmoil. The Dictator has finally surpassed the peoples level of tolerance. They demand he step down. The People want a new form of Government! I hope they get it before to many people die from the dictators attempt to hold on to his position of power. If I could tell the people of Egypt one thing, it would be don't give up! You have the right to live in a peaceful and secure environment. You shouldn't have to worry if you child will get caught in the crossfire of some corrupt officials attempts to control the citizens.
I listened as one of the Egyptian citizens stated that they had expected a little more support from the US. The US people are not always represented properly by our elected officials. That is one of the many flaws of our form of government. All forms of Government are flawed to some extent. Our type of government is the one that I am most familiar with, not that I know much about how it really works. I understand the principal of it.
I do not agree with the idea that people should be forced to live in accordance with the ideals of others. The US claims to support civil rights for people and helps to implement a democratic form of government; then how, is it that the US can support dictators and help them to retain power by supplying DEA agents to act as a execution squad to take out any opposition to the current regime. The only requirement is to claim the opposition was actually an organized drug Manufacturer/distributor. American Tax dollars hard at work.
It is my hope that the people of Egypt can find a way to end the conflicts and get the government reforms they are demanding!
