What??? Have you ever visited Egypt? It has one of the lowest percentages of arable lands in the entire world

This is pretty ridiculous. I like how the the DJIA has actually gone up since he was in office, so whoever created this information just included the fact that it was higher the day he won the Democratic nomination than it is today. Why does that even matter? It's just included to be...

What does ANY of that have to do with our military. Our military doesn't give out aid to foreign countries or leaders.

I just want to point out that there isn't a single cohesive "military" in Egypt. There is a military that is pretty much an arm of Mubarak that is involved in a lot of the torturing, imprisonment, spying, etc. Then there is also a military group that is less loyal to the state which is largely...

Why would Israel do this? First, Mubarak has maintained a civil relationship with Israel. They're not best friends, but there is no threat from the Egyptian government. Second, Egypt has been brutal with respect to the Gaza border. The wall they built is more impressive than that wall the...

As someone who has followed this closely on Al-Jazeera, has lived in Egypt for a long time, and has many Egyptian friends, I have to say your analysis of everything is spot on. Only thing I disagree with is that this might turn anti-America. Especially if the US makes a mostly symbolic gesture...

Not at all. Egypt is a dictatorship in which Mubarak maintains his power from holding onto support from the elites. The rich in Egypt are very often "created" by the state through corrupting and nepotism. Egyptians are not upset with the family who owns a business, drives an imported car...

I'm sure the corrupt politician's speech made more sense than anything uttered in this post.

Who would have thought that the type of people who would hack a banks website would release individuals credit card numbers?

Good lord.

Do you even understand what a straw man is? Judging by the way you responded, by attempting to prove that "boycotts" and protests aren't working, I'm not sure you do.

Nice straw man.

??? So if your local government pressured your neighbor to do something, you'd be justified in taking action against your neighbors property? How does that make sense at all? Because the government is involved in someway, it automatically becomes libertarian to interfere with their property...

I understand you're not blaming the whole thing on Nifong, but I don't feel confident saying this wouldn't happen if it wasn't for him. She wasn't exactly a fine upstanding citizen before Nifong stepped in. And the fact that she did accuse the Duke players of rape mostly out of spite says a...

Let me get this right...Mastercard is doing something these hackers don't like, so they're shutting down their websites (and trying to do so at others, and likely would cause more damage if they can)...and this website is cheering it on? How libertarian is that? Attacking other people's...
