Q: Why does the Egypt problem stump the US government?

[2008f450]

I am sure most any foreign administration listens to Obama. Afterall he has so much experience in foreign policy and relations. I would not be the least surprised if a leader of a foreign nation wold tell him to "mind your own business rookie". Mubarak has been in power for close to 30 years-think he is going to take anything Oblunder says seriously?

I actually think most foreign leaders are saying it more like " Go F@&* yourself. You cant run your own country dont tell me how to run mine" and Im sure there is a middle finger in there somewhere too. I like the line in the interview before the superbowl "what I want is a representitive government..." uh excuse me dumbass what makes you think THEY want that.

I think Obama is liked but not respected at all. He can can say things but won't follow through. Other leaders know we're overextended and can't afford our current wars and our economy isn't helping.

OTOH, I'm not too sure what anybody can do. Mubarak may be a scumbag but he's our scumbag and seen as such. Maybe those mythical moderate Moslems will take over. They'll come riding in on their unicorns.

Moderate muslim? Is that like a pro gun liberal?

The entire reason Obummer is well like abroad is that he Kow-tows to other leaders and does NOT pose any threat.
They know he is a popularity president and has no real foreign policies beyond "Don't make Waves."

He is weak and they know it.

I can see it now. Big meeting of world leaders. They all walk in. Close the door. Walk over to Obama,pat him on the head and say "you can sit over in the corner and watch the big boys. But only if you are quiet and dont interupt us"

There are secular Muslims, moderate Muslims and all that. They just shut up and do nothing since the crazies are in charge. There were some well know moderates in Egypt and other countries. They got killed or locked up on charges like Blasphemy. Moderates can't make it in this environment since they are moderate. It's hard to go and gun a family down in a spirit of moderation.

I wish I knew how to modernize Islam. There were some unpleasant aspects of Christianity long ago but our ancestors got over it. I think it was the Reformation followed but the many splits of Protestants. There were too many factions and they called truce.

I'm a pretty moderate guy, apart from guns. The great part about living here is I can make moderate or extreme statements and nobody is going to kill me or my family for it. People might think I'm an asshole. I could even get banned from forums like this but nothing else. Looking at the Middle East is like looking at some of the uglier parts of our past 800 or 900 years ago.

The US probably has a problem dealing with this whole issue because we're sitting idle after getting told to do so by the king of Saudi - who also told Obama that we'd regret NOT sitting this one out.
