Egypt, looking a lot like North Korea

Here purportedly is how much of Egypt's internet has been taken off-line just in the last few hours.

.....too late for Mubarak, blocking the internet won't save the regime. It was a very good decision for Barack Obama to communicate through YouTube rather than through the usual presser....That's gotta be very worrisome for Mubarak that he can't control news/comm in Egypt any longer.

It may take a little longer for the fall to come for Mubarak but it's inevitable. Some of the other dictatorships in the Arab world are also plenty nervous, Egypt and Tunisia are just the beginning of a very positive outlook, although there are also some signs of movement toward Islamist theocracy (Lebanon).
Freedom for Iraqis and Afghans were just the beginning -- make room for the likeness of George Bush on Mt Rushmore.

Mubarek has been a client of the U.S. since his installation. Olives and Arrows why do you hate America?

p.s. George Bush on Mt Rushmore is about as likely as bats flying out of your ass. Too much cranium in the way.

Nobody is this big of a fool. It is more likely Iraq will put a picture of Bush dodging a thrown shoe on their national flag.

US tolerated Mubarak and gave financial aid to Egypt as condition for (continued) official recognition of Israel.
