Fighterjets and Armyhelicopters over Cairo city center

[sweethomes]

I am just watching live pictures from Cairo and protesters against Mubarak ,
Helicopters and fighterjets started to fly and circle over the protesters , this pictures are very unsetteling and disturbing !
I start to fear now that the army responds with violence to the protests very soon .
What is your opinion about it and how does it make you feel ?

He cant use them, if he does he is history, worlds changed, you can bring out the heavy stuff but you use it you are finished. Only place that can do that now would be China or some backwater small dictator. Egypt is a mayor state and pivotal not just geographically but politically. He uses helicopters on his own people he's finished with Obama and he will have to cut him loose and back the protestors, Obama to Mubarak is like Gorbachov to the last East German leader, when they cut you loose you are finished and Obama could not stand by him if he uses that kind of hardware on his people, not when the hardware has made in the good old U S of A stamped on it.

This is the final play for Mubarak, he's going to have to use them or dont, either way he lose's.

I agree with you , but common sense I dont expect from a dictator standing with the back to the wall . Erich Honecker also gave the order to shoot at the protesters in GDR , luckily the army and police refused ! Maybee I am emotionaly blinded , hopefully you are right . Thank you for your opinion .

Even if Honecker (thank you as I could not remember his name) had gotten his army to fire, it would have been terrible for those killed but he still was finished, Gorbachov had pulled the plug and the writing was on the wall, the world had changed and Honecker did not see it.

Mubarak is not your average dictator, he is one with US backing up to now, he could use troops to fire with ak 47's and as horrible as it sounds the way the world works he probably would get away with that but not with fighters and helicoptors.

The US wants him in powerm they do not want to risk extremists getting some hold on power in such an important country, it borders Isreal, can you imagine what they are thinking right now, they dont want him gone either as he is a stable leader in a region that everyone hates them but if we see rockets fired from the sky on unarmed people from US made helicoptors that changes everything and Obama as the leader of the free world and as someone with an eye to getting re elected just can no longer support him in any way.

Mubarak is also a big part of the peace process, how can he sit at that table if his country in under curfew and killed his own people with figthers.

Trust me, he is a dead man walking, even if his army stamps out all this, the world will close its doors to Egypt and become like Libya was for last 30 years. He still can hold on to power but to do that he has to lose the world and his eye on history as being a peacemaker with Isreal.

All the big boys want him to stay, he is the safer bet, he falls and it 1989 all over again only this time in the sand and the US would prefer that not happen as they would fear extremists getting voted into power and if they do and its a country bordering Isreal well them democracy goes out the window. The difference is the US wanted 1989 to happen, they do not want the same thing in the middle east.

but look on the bright side, if we get another 1989 in the middleeast look as all the exotic escorts we'll have from places they are at the moment not allowed to leave. Imagine if 1989 did not happen and all these lovely east europeans still locked away behind the iron curtain ?

No Nikky and Eve, no Jessica Jessy, no Anna no Agniezka and lots of others, all top class and all here because of 1989 how would the industry here be if people did not risk blood for freedom ? its an interesting question. The review leader board would be a lot different for a start.

If nothing else clients think with your mickeys and demand your td's take action on Egypt.

I'm a man trust me its always the first thought and whats wrong with east euro escorts ? lot of good ones and dodgy ones smae as from anywhere.

I see a lot off changes going on the whole continent and believe, it will not stop because a few big polititians try or will interfere , they underestimate the power of people who have enough ! Its not about politic anymore , its about human needs .
I fear that against all political consequences for Mubarak , he will make a bad decission on how to deal with this situation . Honecker also new he was finished , but he gave the order anyway , cause this kind of longterm dictators belive that they can go unpunished and unharmed no matter what ! They can sit down and talk peace in other countries , while they have their own people in chains of hunger , fear and desperation , they will not listen to anybody at the end . And that is scary !
Egypt people will walk into direction of democracy and will have free elections one day , but they will pay a high price ...
Thank you for your opinions .

I finding it all very upsetting too Sweethomes. While I have no connections with Egypt, I really feel for the people there. While a regime change seems inevitable now, the political powers seem determined to stay on. I fear there will be more lives lost.

There is also the concern of who will take over if Mubarak goes. There doesn't appear to be any clear opposition leadership at the present. The country could fall into complete anarchy or into the hands of Islamic militants. I think it will eventually fall into the hands of the military. Unfortunately, military rule has a very poor record worldwide.
