That is true. But there is still hope the people of Iran will get there freedom too. I have worked over there and the average Joe wants American style democracy. You have to pray hard thats all. Lets pray that all tyrant dictators fall this year and democratic free reform takes hold.

I agree , However free peoples and free markets are better for the world. We are guilty of turning a blind eye to thecruelty of these tyrants for decades. The principle of freedom is still worth while. Even if the US does not benefit finacially from the fall of the Egypian Government we will be a better world with free peoples in the Middle East.

My brother's two boys enlisted in the Navy in the late 80's both 6 ft plus guys. One just got out with 24 years of service 2010 and the other got pushed out because on his second enlistment he couldn't keep his weight down to the Navy's standards. Thanks Paul for your article : )

Has anyone noticed what is happening in Egypt and the rest of the Middle East. Riots in the streets and people calling for freedom. Bush believed that just one working democracy in the Middle East would cause a ripple effect and bring change. The press destroyed him for that belief. He is looking like a genius now if you ask me. All the counties in the Middle East are ruled by third world harsh dictators and we turn a blind eye and stand with them at the UN and call them friends. The people there now have real hope! And it is because of what GW Bush did. You wont hear any good news on the local media because it is not apart of their template. Bush bash and the anti war mantra.

If you go to Germany with their socialize medical care don't get sick. A engineer I know went there to look at a machine line and while he was there broke his leg, a German doctor look at it but he had to come back to the good old USA to get it x-rayed or to be put on a list for up to six months waiting to have it done there. We did buy the machines with Siemens crap on it. I know of no one that likes to work on it because of the piss poor German  engineering way over kill : ( If people like the way people live in any another country they should just move there don't try to change our American way of life!

What is our problem we ask,

Perhaps we should look at 1) The House of Representatives, the Senate, the Presidency and oh yes the Supreme Court. How many members of those bodies have read the U S Constitution and of those that have read understand it. Most do not even know the first rthree words of the preamble. They ae "WE THE PEOPLE", Not I the President, not I the congressman, not I the Senator and not I the Supreme Court Justice.  Ithink they should all have to take a course on the Constitution and take a test ..the passing score must be a 4.0.
