with all the leaks they put on the internet, and the little that has happened in the wake of those leaks, My commen sense tells me this is all a big show. Just now I though of the fact that in the history of our world all the people that generally blew a legitimate whistle, have all been killed not long after things got to tense for the people controlling the situation the whistle-blowers where exposing.
Now either Assange, does not have really damaging leaks to get the attention of these thugs or they have been doing some pretty good damage control or something. I don't know truly, but this is what I think right now. As the situation changes I try to stay vigilant and try to figure out if it really is going somewhere at all with Assange.edit on 9-2-2011 by Wolfcomplex because: typo

Hurray for common sense! Why on earth would the Israelis or Americans not want to support someone moderate?
To the Israelis it could be a matter of survival. They are already surrounded by enemies who want to do nothing more than "drive them into the sea", and Eqypt arming up for a war with Israel could be the final nail in the coffin.
A Islamic fundamentalist Eqypt would be an existantal threat to Israel.
Why is even a Palestinian crisis? If the neighboring Arab countries cared so much about Palestinian refugees why do they not absorb them or allow them to become Jordanian, Syrian, Eqyptian or Lebanese citizens?

As "The Who" said:

You don't have to be a genius to see that whoever controlled Mubarak is going to find another puppet to replace him. But I think the people of Egypy know what's going on, and won't tolerate it.

I find this kind of stuff pretty telling. The new vice president has the backing of Isreal and American. It all looks pretty buttoned up. Out with the old and back in with the old.
Why cant they just leave the people to choose for themselves. Im sure they are capabe of nominating there own politcal system without interference from the west. We are always claiming to want to bring democracy to places. Evidently ownly certain types of democracy to certain places.
I dont think this is going to work. Protest towards america and suspicion of the west is growing. When the word hits that Mr Suleiman is sympathetic to isreal the ball with start rolling again.
