Protests in Egypt
The US has long sponsored Mubarak's authoritarian regime, but it looks like it's on a very shaky ground now.
What are your predictions for Egypt's future? An upcoming democracy, or another oppressive Islamic republic like Iran? Or perhaps the revolts will be suppressed?
PS: I ask this here because everyone knows toribashians are brilliant political analysts.

Stuff like this is currently going on all over the world, and the common factor is the US helping whoever is in office keep their office.
Albania, my home country, being one of these that has been affected.
I know little about egypt's government, but quoting from V for vendetta, "The government should be afraid of it's citizens", and if there are 1 million chasing you with rocks, then you have fallen downhill and deserve to be expelled from office.
I hope they become a democracy, but alas, with the political hounds that scrounge the world preying on changing countries, with inexperienced governments and using them to their own advantage and profiting, it will not be a true democracy. If the revolts are suppressed, then there is something seriously wrong and someone needs to intervene.

Hyde: The quote is "People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people." I posted it yesturday and you forget half of it already?

Fish: "Gorman has been chosen for admin. After a lengthy discussion we've all decided that Gorman is the best choice for the next admin."
Upon looking at a few statistics, my prediction is that it will become another intolerant shithole theocracy.
I really want to be wrong. I wish these statistics didn't reflect reality.
