Well so much for him leaving, lol. The VP has most of his presidential powers and the military is also acting as an arbiter. People are PISSED after waiting all afternoon thinking this was the moment he’d go. ---

Bing’s quote from another thread that’s relevant here: > [@Syria. Algeria. Jordan. Yemen. Sudan..... and LABIA... err... Libya](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/syria-algeria-jordan-yemen-sudan-and-labia-err-libya/208724/97): > > you guys think these nations will actually go hardcore muslim when it was young men who broke them loose? > > the guys who freed these nations talk about the exact same things you and i do during the day… hot chicks, cars and other things… this is a pure roller coaster right into middle-eastern takes on westernism. So Egypt had parliamentary elections and the Muslim Brotherhood plus other hard-line Muslim parties won 3/4 of the seats. And since the crazy soccer riot deaths they’ve been calling to replace the higher military government with a government and leader that represents them; the elected majority. They’ve even come out against several secular initiatives including a woman’s political council. Things don’t seem to be going the right way. ---

> [@Onyx Z32](#): > > “Arab spring forward -\> Arab fall back.” do like. interesting talk on TED the other day talking about how the social media tools help lower the cost of effective dissent and protest but do not address the issue of leadership amongst dissenters. As a result you create a power vacuum without representation from the rebel-class. how are Tunisia and Libya doing? ---

And take two in Egypt. New Muslim Brotherhood President’s place stormed and torched by protesters. The military says the two sides have two days to work out an agreement or they’re going to step in, probably with another coup. ---

^^^ Moved your last post to this thread Joe. There are **17 million people** (granted in multiple locations) marching and protesting in Egypt. There were what, 1 million last time in the square? But if you go back and read this thread, this was predictable. Although it seems like most of the media doesn’t care this time around. > [@Onyx Z32](#): > > Congrats Egypt on your first Muslim Brotherhood president and potential religious autocracy :tdown: > > The only thing preventing this now is the military. … And the military hopefully can correct this again… although the last time they helped and gave the people power, the people chose shitty… There was enough information (social media, etc.) out there for an effective take down of Mubarak (a shitty but SECULAR government) yet the same informed people were totally duped by the Muslim Brotherhood into thinking they would get more freedoms under a religious party & leader. Maybe 2nd time’s the charm? Side note, imagine if our military was a co-equal branch of government like in Egypt? :eek: ---
