US on the way to repeating Iran's mistakes

Obama might have said the right words but the people that are
implementing it say something else.

Egypt more democratic than IRAN!!!!
What a bullshit.

Israel the only democracy in Arabia?

Might be but with apartheid laws, such as giving Jews automatic
citizenships while original arabs in Israel, can't even be allowed to
return to their own homes, can't be fully democratic, more like former
South African Apartheid laws.

Malaysia may be more democratic than Iran but to say that Egypt that
does not even have an election, unless these idotic US representatives
think that an election where there is only a LONE candidate is
considered as DEMOCRATIC in the eyes of the US people.

Obama: Confident That Egypt's Next Govt Could Be US Partner

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--President Barack Obama Sunday stopped short of
calling for Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's immediate departure,
and said he is confident that the U.S. will be able to work with the
country's next government.

"We can say that the time is now for you to start making a change in
that country," Obama said in an interview with Fox News.

President Hosni Mubarak has said he would not run for re-election this
fall, but has rebuffed opposition demands that he step down
immediately. Egyptian Vice President Omar Suleiman Sunday met
representatives of the banned Muslim Brotherhood and discussed
liberalizing the political environment.

Obama downplayed concerns that the Muslim Brotherhood, a group Egypt's
regime has spent years suppressing, could take power.

"I think that the Muslim Brotherhood is one faction in Egypt. They
don't have majority support in Egypt but they are well organized and
there are strains of their ideology that are anti-U.S., there is no
doubt about it," Obama said.

Obama said he wanted a representative government in Egypt that
reflected the country's broader civil society.

"I have confidence that, if Egypt moves in an orderly transition
process, that we will have a government in Egypt that we can work with
together as a partner," Obama said.
