Uprising in Egypt
By Micah Halpern

Thursday January 27, 2011

I've Been Thinking:

Protests are spreading in Egypt. Now the United States and the European Union have asked Egypt to permit the protests and allow the rallies.

Let people voice their dissent, they say.
Tension between Egypt and the West about reforming and liberalizing and moving to more democratic institutions has been a constant.
Egypt will fight to protect itself. Egypt does not take kindly to the United States meddling into internal affairs. Egyptian leadership can always be counted on to defend their place and their position. Status is more important than democratic reforms.

Egypt will not take any risks for Western liberal values. If it comes to it, Egyptian police will massacre Egyptian citizens and publically hang and humiliate leaders of the opposition. The police are brutal in Egypt and there are untold numbers of secret police.
Egyptian leadership is not about to budge.
