I see you have learned nothing from history. Autocratic regimes, even the most brutal ones, eventually always succumb.
I see you have learned little from history or biology. The bubonic plague also eventually, slowly, excruciatingly, ran it's course. But then, those victims never had a choice except to wait it out. They didn't know to kill the rats.
But we don't have that excuse.
And under Saddam most Shia happily coexisted with the Sunni. Saddam's Iraq was fairly secular, he even had a Christian foreign secretary.
Right. One nation, under Saddam, with tongue extractors, and acid baths, and rape rooms, and unprovoked invasions, and, eventually, nukes, if left unchecked.
Pfff. Are you seriously claiming credit for the US here because the army chose the side of the people?
Damn right I am. You don't like it?
Just think of it as a more credible counter to the leftists' determined attempts to blame the U.S. for the existence of Mubarak.
The Egyptian military has had close ties with the Pentagon for decades. On a personal level. The level at which values are discussed and exchanged.
The soldiers in the army had their family protesting in the streets. If the generals had sided with Mubarak they would risk rebellion in the armed forces. Much safer to side with the protestors.
Izzatafact.
Too bad Saddam's thugs never figured that out. But they never really risked rebellion in the armed forces, did they. No more than Stalin ever risked rebellion in the armed forces.
