Yeah S8 that is interesting. In 1953 the secular government of Mosadeq was kicked out by Western intelligence agencies and an Islamic regime installed thereafter. Funny how Islamic regimes are a viable option? I suppose the Islamic dictators are not really moslem to begin with, just happy to be the dictator and take on whatever colors they need to. No doubt one of the goals of installing an Islamic regime in Iran during the 50's was to stop Iran progressing into a developed nation. It is also interesting that notable people such as George Bernard Shaw (ultra leftist) praise Islamic style dictatorships. The word Islam means 'submission of will'. I am not racist and I understand there are decent moslems and I also would condemn any Christian dictatorships.
This Mubarak fella looks to have made the elite up-set or his use by date may have arrived. The riots do have many hall-marks of being contrived. Oil up 2.5 % last night.
