Egypt - Communication Cut Off Escalated

reply to post by Giovannetti44




Before you get too riled up-take note that although it is inspiring that the people are standing up for freedom,reports are coming out that the Muslim Brotherhood (a known terrorist organization) has been behind getting people to go out and protest-and the fear is that in the vacuum created if the government should fall that they will sweep in- and that will NOT be good.....

I posted this response on another thread but i felt it fit in with what you are saying..

We just need to make a concerted effort to show them America is behind them. That may be tough with every form of communication down in the country but this topic really hits home for alot of people.

As long as Egypt comes out the other end of this with a Government the people chose, good for them.

As Samuel Adams stated on foreign policy,"Respect the independence of other nations, while asserting our own"...seems we ignore this today
