President Mubarak said yesterday in his press conference that he would do everything in his power to establish 'social justice' in Egypt, but refused to resign from his position. Instead, he has vowed not to run for re-election. But this is not sitting well with the protesters influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood.
Now, chaos has really broken out into a more violent magnitude. Supporters of Mubarak have begun to clash with the hundreds of thousands of protesters in downtown Cairo, so much so, that even CNN anchor Anderson Cooper and ABC news correspondent Christiane Amanpour found themselves in the middle of it all.
If anyone knows a little bit about the history of uprising in the Middle East, it all relates back to the Muslim Brotherhood. Iran is a classic example, back in the late 1970's when its government was trying to control the nation from becoming an Islamic country. It didn't work out. Now you have Mahmoud Ahmadinejad just patiently waiting.
The same can be said of Egypt. There is a great deal of influence that the Muslim world wants to impose on just about everything, which is Sharia Law and a land that they believe is rightfully theirs. This is why they want Israel out.
Now one may argue that the Muslim Brotherhood won't have any influence on Egypt's new government once Mubarak is out. Well that certainly was not the case with Iran back then, and Jordan, which bans terrorist groups like Hamas, is struggling with its government right now.
Yet what is the most remarkable out of all of this, is while that entire region of the world is slowly becoming destabilized, President Obama, Secretary of State Clinton and Speaker Boehner, seem to be 'egging on the protests', but fail to mention anything about how fast this is all spreading and the interrelationships the countries in the Middle East have with one another.
Its fascinating to me that the far left in America are supporting the protests throughout the Middle East, but they'll criticize the Tea Party which protests against the same kind of government corruption...?
On one end, they support chaos, but condemn the same chaos on another end.
The double standard is breathtaking.
