The people of Egypt are in the streets trying to tell their ruler to leave office. After thirty years of ruling them with an iron fist, while fires burn in the streets, and the government shuts down the internet and phone lines to silence the people.
President Hosni Mubarak is trying everything he can to remain in power as the people chant leave office now. The people of Egypt are seeking freedom, and a better way of life for them and their families, something we take for granted a lot in this country.
They are asking for the simple things like better wages and working conditions, and something less then a seven day work week. They would like to have the things that we enjoy in this country, but President Hosni Mubarak will have nothing to do with that.
The Untied States should be helping Egypt a lot more then we are. But the politicians are worried about straining our relationship with their dictator President Hosni Mubarak. Our government is a bit soft when it comes to helping the people of Egypt remove their dictator from office.
President Hosni Mubarak has been in office for thirty years, just think how bad this country if a president were to stay in office for thirty years. Imagine the corruption, and the pay offs to shut up. The people always pay the price when thing like this happen.
Like one of my favorite bands says, put a man in control, watch him become a god, watch people's heads a roll. President Hosni Mubarak doesn't think that he's a regular person any more, he thinks he's a god among men, the be and end all, the final word.
I'm with the people of Egypt, I hope that they get rid of this guy and get their freedom. I always thought that our country bragged about helping people, and countries get, and keep their freedom. I thought that the United States was the international defender of the rights of all people.
After days of protest the people of Egypt are still in the streets trying to get their freedom from this dictator. Where is the United states; well just like normal we are worrying about what President Hosni Mubarak would think if we help.
We all know that Obama is a spineless president, we all know that short of Egypt imploding Obama will do nothing to help them. Sure he will come on TV an issue warnings, and the secretary of state will do the same, but they will not help Egypt out because they are scared.
There is no doubt that our country could do more to help Egypt out of this problem. Obama could move soldiers from Afghanistan to Egytp to help these people, but we can't have that. We might actually help somebody out of a bad situation.
Their is no doubt that these people need our help, their is no doubt that they have asked for our help, but our president stands by and watches from behind the seen. If we still believe if the principals of this country, and the idea that all people should be free, we must do something to help there people.
