You know who else won't sleep well tonight? US leaders. Basically, the arab youth is overthrowing the US puppets and overturning US influence in middle east. Joe Biden has voiced open support for Egyptian president today, but Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has been tactful so far.
As an American, I am glad that the arab youth is escaping the imperialistic shadow that US has casted over the middle east. As an American, I lament that this is the end of the US dominance. As an American, I fear that the revolution around the world will force US into a totalitarian government. As an American, I hope that true democracy will ultimately triumph.
- TwoTon 16y agoIf the US government are "puppetmasters," we're the worst puppetmasters of all time. We've given Egypt over 16ish Billion dollars over the last 10 years, (http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/politics/us-foreign-aid.htm http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/politics/us-foreign-aid.htm) and we don't have the influence to disrupt a student uprising? At some point, the people of the middle east are going to have to start looking in the mirror to solve their problems.
