Egypt

Does history repeat itself as we often hear? In 1979 Carter revealed to the world that he would be a weak president on the world stage. He moved to drastically cut the Dept. of Defense, let it be known that he did not support the Shah of Iran, admitted there was a malaise in the land and felt helpless to do anything about it. It did not take long for radical Islamists to demonstrate in the streets, depose the Shah and set up a repressive regime based upon Sharia Law. The Iranians took 52 Americans hostage and thumbed their noses at Carter. Obama is reducing our military, let the world know that the U.S. can no longer be a strong man in the affairs of other nations, apologized for what we had done in the world. He said that no nation should have influence in another nations internal affairs. Egyptians have heard him loud and clear and, like the Iranians before them, are demonstrating in the streets. Like the Shah, Mubarak will be deposed and we will have another country with Sharia Law.
