I think it's very sad to be one thousand kilometers away from home and helplessly watch the news on television.

Let me say what is happening in Egypt has nothing to do with an Islamic revolt.
In Milano there is a large Egyptian community and none of them took the excuse to get off the streets to protest and claim their religious beliefs.

and..of course figgy is a princess !

Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Moubarak is now claiming that he is the only person in Egypt capable of preventing a shit storm. Someone needs to donate a TV to this guy or maybe encourage him to look out the window. Dictators always use the line that if they weren't in office the dickhead who replaces them will be an extremist. In the islamic world it seems that the antics of dictators always make the job of extremists easier.

The events we are seeing can be taken as an example of a geopolitical transformation that goes far beyond the borders of the country concerned.

Today in Egypt 2/3 of the population lives with an average of two dollars a day, and this is inconceivable in a country that for decades have received support and financial aid by billions of dollars directly from the United States!
Is therefore evident that the support of the Americans do not serve the welfare of the population - when ever served that purpose, really? - but keep a regime that takes control in this population, against its own interests.
Now that the Egyptians have understood, and that is why they will not accept another dictator, I hope they will go on until they see materialize changes that are looking for.

Finally, it remains to valuate the geopolitical aspect of the matter, which is the most important of all.
As we know, Egypt is considered more than 30 years the "watchdog" US-UK-Israel axis in the Middle East.
After renouncing hostilities with Israel, Egypt, in fact often cooperated with Israel to maintain the balance of local pro-Western, and lately he has also served at the end - at least officially - to the border with Gaza.

But it is very likely that the new structure which will be released by Egyptian - whatever it is - will be much less in favor of an open support to Israel ,and will almost certainly be re-opened its border with Gaza allowing the transit of people and the official humanitarian aid so far they traveled along the underground tunnels dug between the two territories.

Would Israel like this changes? Probably not…. the real question now becomes whether Israel can still afford to use the United States - as it has done until yesterday - to advance their own "agenda" of sionist expansionism...
When the army refused to shoot at people, the options that remain for those who want to control it are few.
things could not get any worse
