February 17th, 2012 2:46 pm Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. is losing old friends and can’t win new ones in the new Egypt.

    Why would any country need “experts” to come in and show them how to hold elections, etc., such as these pro-democracy groups we sent in to Egypt. Egypt is an extremely old country with highly educated and intelligent people. Any “experts” sent in to most countries are highly suspect to begin with because of the strong possiblity they are CIA fronts. That’s probably the real reason they were arrested in Egypt.

      Most countries have highly intelligent people….always a minority. The USA have plenty of them…How is that working for us?
      Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups…especially when religion is involved.
      I hope I am wrong, but I expect to see an elephant fly before I see another true Democracy (besides Turkey (not Arab)and that took decades and is in danger now) in an Arab country.

    The US is like an insurance company. Everybody hates and envy them, but when you need money and need to cover the bills to pay they come to us.

    This “Arab Spring” in countries with strong Muslim influence and no tradition of Democracy is going to come back to bite us. Same in Syria, prefer a predictable dictator than a Muslim theocracy that believe we are the source of all the world troubles.
