So today Mubarak resigned and Egypt is free. Well supposedly, he handed over power to the military which as history shows one or both of these things will happen

 

1. The Military not having a clue what the hell they are supposed to do will fight among each other until a sole General takes power.

 

2. The Military places an autocratic state.

 

Although this might be a very good day for democracy, it may not be so good for the US and her allies as many of the protesters are anti-american and to be honest I don't blame them as we did support Mubarak for a while and even gave them US tanks, fighters, and equipment.

 

Even though this was a peaceful change of power, keep in mind that peaceful takeovers (or seemingly peaceful) are skeptical. As Cuban Dictator Fidel Castro seized power and formed a communist state. Adolf Hitler also appeared to take over peacefully but the history books tell the rest.

 

So what do you think will happen in Egypt.

 

A. The Military will seize total control and form a even more oppressive state.

 

B. A new constitution will be created and Democracy and real freedom will be restored.

 

Also with that said, what do you think this means for the US and Allies?

 

A. Egypt will become Anti-American

 

B. Egypt will remain Pro-American

 

 

 

Judging by what happens in History, I have to sadly believe both A options will occur. But tell me what you think.

A. The Military will seize total control and form a even more oppressive state.

 

B. A new constitution will be created and Democracy and real freedom will be restored.

 

Also with that said, what do you think this means for the US and Allies?

 

A. Egypt will become Anti-American

 

B. Egypt will remain Pro-American

 

this stuff all started so quickly. my grandma was meant to be going to egypt for holiday 3 days ago, but they had to cancel it.

 

good to know that at least most of the riots have stopped (assuming i understood right)

lol, when the president stepped down & it said the military took control, i said 'inb4 military goes crazy with power' and my mum hit me. :'D

 

Wow, cella

I think datA otions will happen as well. Just saw the news today morning, it was live, and there were like, 1000 people in front of the palace or something. I really didn't understand much, escept that Egypt wants democrocy and want that president of theirs to let go and shizz, and that if THEY take over, egypt might be screwed.

That's just my head tough. and how EMPTY it is.

 

A. The Military will seize total control and form a even more oppressive state.

Eh possibly. I'm pretty confident that they will be Anti-America but regarding the government, it all boils down to whether the military is more loyal to their values, or to their personal gain.

Lol but you could be right. He he

I really don't know. I think it could go a few ways. Really, I just hope that the Muslims don't come into power. Let's begin with the fact some of them would like to kill us, and relations with Egypt prolly wouldn't go as well. And that's bad, of course, because of the oil we recieve from Egypt, and because the Suez (spellcheck?) Canal is located there--biggest trade route in the world.

 

Hopefully their fight wasn't in vain, and they get some real democracy. I think Mubarak should've given up a little quicker, but I can see how he would've been hesitant.

We don't know yet still, I'm not surprised if he comes back O:
