The point I'm trying to make is that Obama should not get involved with the mess in Egypt. There are enough problems in this country to keep him occupied.

your post above said no such thing. and of course obama and the state dept will keep an eye on egypt. to do otherwise would be irresponsible. i doubt you'd feel this concern were it a republican in the executive.

I would feel the same way whether it is a Democrat or Republican. This country has a habit of sticking its nose in another countries affair when it shouldn't.

i doubt that. and of course we care about what happens with egypt, considering where it is located. you might want to consider the bigger picture rather than just say we need to mind our business.

That would involve Cognitive ability far beyond his capabilities. It would be akin to a Pomeranian lining up in the gates and winning the Kentucky Derby..

Not being concerned about what happens in Egypt is a bury one's head in the sand analogy. We should be very concerned.

Egypt has been a deciding factor in keeping peace with Israel. We've been plowing $2 billion a year into Egypt's budget (mostly for military expense) to ensure the peace is kept.

I'm not saying Mubarak is a great guy to his people - obviously not. BUT, we and they have to be concerned about jumping from the frying pan into the fire. We don't know what's on the horizon for a new regime and IF one of the underlying causes for this revolution is the peace with Israel.

All I can imagine is that if a new regime takes a different approach toward Israel and so much as stares at them cross-eyed, the Middle East will erupt like it's never erupted before. And, that is (to my way of thinking) the main reason why we should be concerned about what's going on in Egypt.

I understand you are trying to make a point but dont you feel that this country gets involved in another countries affairs too much?
