I'm very happy for Egyptian people. People of Egypt deserve a better leader, a better government. The guy who said 'I am ready to die' yesterday on CNN almost made me cry. Thats the spirit, and that spirit deserved a victory which they finally achieved. I hope the same happens for other nations that have been held under dictatorship for decades.

Let's hope that is what they get.

  They've set an example on how to do a peaceful revolution. They've earned the right to choose their own government. Now, they'll have to learn from their choices, good and bad ones!

Don't be very enthusiastic, especially for Egypt. They have got a very sensible position. They are Israel neighbor, they have the Suez Canal, and also the most populated Arabic country (They can become a power). That is, I don't think that the U.S will give up that easily. Also keep in mind, that the Arab nations want to unite. If you give the people the power, you'll see tomorrow that most of the borders are removed, which let the place for the building of a very strong and influential civilization. As I said in my other thread, we have just began and it'll be a very long road and will need a very long breath.

  If you give the people the power, you'll see tomorrow that most of the borders are removed WTF? Have you ever spoken with an actual Arab? If you had, you'd know that nationalism is alive and well. Egyptians are quite cognizant of the differences between themselves and Syrians or Lebanese or Jordanians. They have zero interest in abolishing borders and uniting with other countries. But what do I know, I'm only an Egyptian.

    I really don't know about you. I'm not saying they want to form a one country and become one nation; but make trade easier, one currency (may be in the future). I was speaking from the financial side. For their support for brothers countries like Palestine, may be you won't support them, but the majority does. And you being an Egyptian doesn't represent what the majority of Egyptians think. Only the future will tell what their orientations will be.

Or is this just some fantasy you dreamed up? For their support for brothers countries like Palestine, may be you won't support them, but the majority does. You need not fabricate beliefs for me regarding Palestine. It is not relevant to the discussion at hand, namely your evidence-free assertions. And you being an Egyptian doesn't represent what the majority of Egyptians think. Only the future will what their orientations will be. Of course not, but my direct experience is one data point. So far, you've supplied no evidence, direct experience or otherwise.

      If you look at what has happened with Greece and Spain and Portugal and Ireland in the Euro... I strongly doubt any large group of nations will get on board the "one currency" train in the next 25 years.
