EGYPT'S 'PROTESTERS" HAVE ALREADY WON

CBS News interviewed the new Egyptian Vice President today. He promised the military would not harm the protesters, just what the Obama administration wants. This, after seeing the protesters climbing all over military vehicles in Cairo. As the cartoons say, "That's all folks."

Does anybody believe this is truly "the people" revolting? It's not as if it's a grass-roots movement like America's Tea Party. If it's not organized then who's behind it? Even Fox News is taking the bait and doesn't think the Muslim Brotherhood is the impetus behind what's going on there. If that's the case then why is it also happening in Tunisia, Jordan, Yemen and elsewhere in the region?

Can we soon expect to see Iranian-style governments hostile to American interests in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and in every nation in the region? The answer, I opine, is yes. And our American government will have aided and abetted their victory. Initially we'll hear it's a democracy, a wonderful thing for Egypt after the bad, bad Mubarak is gone. And at some point in time soon afterwards the Muslim Brotherhood in some guise will seize power.

Earlier generations of Americans and Europeans, post World Wars I and II, conceived the League of Nations and the United Nations. Both concepts were ideals. Well, the League of Nations died and the UN has become a tool of those who hate us. Too bad, as the situations (read people) in Iran and Egypt cry out for intercession by the good guys, those right-thinking nations who wish to preserve the peace.

Alas, Camelot went temporarily out the window when John F. Kennedy was murdered and those opposed to American idealism, within and without, seized and began to fill the vacuum created in our shocked nation.

I hold out little hope that leftist and liberal governments like that currently in power in the U.S., will do the right thing. Rather, they are joining the chorus of those chanting the Mubarak bad guy theme.

Lead by American media's creation of "pop thought", events will follow what they are telling the American people is happening. Those who see through it seem to be few and far between. Or maybe it's just their voices are not being heard....just like in today's Egypt and Iran.
