And after the election those '100000000000' groups will be unified under government, which I'm guessing is better then military occupation.

Peace can be enforced if it is done right, regardless of local animosities. The military occupation at the moment could be beneficial, but alas, there aren't many smart leaders there at current.

Egypt could fall into pieces and destabilize, and it could solve itself. No need to make a big deal about it.

The Copts are in big trouble.
When Mubarak was the leader everything was fine.
Nobody try to attack them becouse he keep the order.
After Mubarak fall everything ****ed up for them.
Copts churches are attacked daily by muslims.
After the elections the Muslim Brotherhood will probably raise to power(They have radical Islam ideology) and the copts will be in even worse situation.

It really shows just how much you know about the Egyptian People's movement...

As for Mubarak..If you think that there weren't attacks on copts back when he was in power then you mustn't of looked at the news over the last few years. The whole of Egypt have suffered under Mubarak.Except for the richest people and certain islamist groups..You should realise that the islamists don't reflect upon the whole of Egypt's muslim population..They are a minority who actually wanted Mubarak to stay in power.

The revolution is still going. http://www.sa.org.au/index.php?optio...ace&Itemid=386

Sounds like there are police involved in the oppression against the Copts as well..Police who are under the military government of Egypt. The military that followed Mubarak and still have allegiance to him.

Quote:
By Jeffrey Fleishman and Amro Hassan, Los Angeles Times October 9, 2011, 7:13 p.m. Reporting from Cairo— At least 22 people were killed in clashes between military police and Coptic Christian protesters in the latest eruption of violence highlighting Egypt's deepening sectarian divisions since President Hosni Mubarak was driven from power in February. In the bloodiest unrest since last winter's uprising, authorities said, three soldiers and 19 protesters were killed Sunday when Copts threw Molotov cocktails at riot police outside the state Radio and Television Building in downtown Cairo. The chaos was further inflamed when thugs in plainclothes attacked Copts, some carrying crucifixes, as they marched along the Nile at dusk. The violence escalated quickly and jolted what had begun as a peaceful rally by Christians to protest the recent burning by Muslims of a church in southern Egypt. Copts began hurling bottles and rocks at security forces after military vehicles plowed through demonstrators as gunshots echoed overhead and crowds scattered.

In Place of Fear: Mubarak, the Egyptian Army and Obama all remain responsible for attacks by hired thugs and plain clothes police (Plain clothes police and hired gangs..Sound familiar?)
1. Are you srs? you just give me "The protestors deamends"? even in the link that you gave me they say it isn't represent all the protestors.
I know they have plenty of deamend the only problem is that each group want something else. The only common deamend was removing Mubarak from the goverment.
2. The copts protest against the burning of Churches... The churches were burned by radical Muslims not the goverment.
After the burning they try to protest and then the goverment attack them.
3. It does not matter if you are American or not. I say really simple thing.

You really don't get my point.
I want democracy in Egypt. But I know from the begining that's the situation will get worse and not better.

No one here knows what will happen in Egypt. If you asked anyone if Egypt would overthrow Mubarak in their revolution people would think you are crazy. Basically anything could happen.

Take a read of all those links I posted..Those demands were written by the people who were the main ringleaders of the movement. I won't comment anymore on this page since I've said all I've wanted to.

Before the protests? I agree no one could predict that he will fall.
The bloggers in Egypt are mostly good people with good purpose but they have minor power compared with the Muslim Brotherhood and the military junta.

Well - before that stupid american settlers revolted, her majesty the queen of England was a guarantee for stability. And then - all those crazy bastards came together and there was war and they formed unions that broke apart again and there was general disorder. What a mess. And just a century later they did a full civil war.
I dont know how one is to expect a revolution to happen by some protesters going on the strees in springtime and expecting a democratic society with peace and prosperity for everyone by fall.
This is going to take quite more time - maybe a bit less if outside help is given to organize a democracy.
One problem of democracy of course is that the conflicts people have with each other have to be dealt with rather than brutally opressed. If you believe the Hobbesian view that humans need a strong and powerful government to be ruled because otherwise they would just start to club each other to death, then I guess you better be in favour of dictatorships and monarchies and give up on that dream of democracy.
So I guess for Egypt it is time now to sort out the problems these groups have with each other. This certainly will not be comfortable but no one said that freedom is comfortable...

Oh and if the muslims are the vast majority, then this is reality - it shows that a democracy has itself some problems namely the dictatorship of the majority. The way to deal with this in a democratic state is however not by creating a "strong and benevolent leadership", but by protecting minorities by the invokation of humanitarian laws and a constitution founded on ethical principles.

The war against the British had a big organiztion behind it(Continental Congress).
The civil war broke out nearly 100 years after the Revolutionary War.
And the most important thing : USA after the war was a country with tremendous economic potential becouse of it's resources.
What Egypt have?
A high percentage of poverty and desert.
And we are talking about the Middle East... -_-
It's unlikely that's radical Muslim goverment will give Christians Equal Rights(Unless they do exactly what the goverment want)


BTW The American Revolutionary War was against the British king George III not queen.
