Mubarak appoints new ministers
What part of "get lost" does Mubarak not understand? Or for that matter, does the Obama administration just not get?
It seems what we have here is the typical western response to crisis by attempting to turn it to their own use. Did Mubarak obey instructions to cut off the Internet so that the western MSM could control the news - you know the looting and all?
Even the Globe and Mail is suggesting, without saying, that the US is orchestrating the whole thing, Obama having withdrawn overt support of Mubarak and "pushing" him to appoint a vice president - Omar Suleiman - who not incidentally has long been the intelligence chief in Mubarak's government, and presumably has the dirt on all of his colleagues.
So is this really a quiet, internal coup?
Nonetheless, it's not what the Egyptian people want, so it will be interesting to hear the upcoming promises of free and fair elections, and other fake goodies.
It's more than interesting to see how China is lending support to the status quo by reportedly not talking about it. I checked out Xinhuanet and it's true - no mention of Egypt beyond one short piece saying that Mubarak has appointed a new government.
To be fair, China does have its New Year coming up on Feb. 3, and if it's anything like here at New Year's the drinking has already begun. And of course personal predictions for the Year of the Rabbit are no doubt a huge distraction.
I wonder if the world would be a better place if we all wore red underwear.

Dear YaYa, allow me this bit of infantility amidst all the awesome events happening in Egypt. My heart is trembling for the motherland and this is all I can do: Write my prayer to God in your blog. And whether you show it or not is of no importance but doing this enables me to survive the night. Thank you for ever and God Keep you well always.
A prayer to God Almighty: Dear God, Please enlighten and inspire the Egyptian army to make the right decision and protect the Egyptians and Egypt from all those, as many as they may be, in as many guises as they come, from the outside or the inside, who want to break their spirit, bring them down on their knees again, or use trickery to subjugate their new-found courage and lifeblood, stumped and dessecrated for so long. Help the army escort Mubarak and all his masters and slaves into some guarded exile where those crimes committed against Egypt for so long can stop. And while we're at it, maybe the Coptic Bishop too, just him, could be escorted out of the country where he can be with the Copts who share his views, mainly in the US, coz most of the Copts in Egypt behave like Egyptians, have always been, and he seems to have got lost somewhere. Pity. Something about popes that causes them to go astray.
Dear God, forgive me my sins, but help Egypt rise a just, strong and sovereign nation again. Amen maddy
