U.S. Sweats As Its Lovely Arab Dictators Wobble

The U.S. is sweating over the "stability" of its favorite Arab dictatorships. First the Tunisian tyrant Ben-Ali fell. Now Egyptians have found their courage and are defying the state thugs of the monstrous Mubarak, armed by the U.S. The question becomes, what will the U.S. tell the Egyptian army? As that army is recipient of arms purchased with a good chunk of the $2 billion yearly U.S. bonanza, the U.S. is in a position to tell it either "Make sure Mubarak doesn't fall, or you're off the weaponry gravy train," or "Let Mubarak fall or you're off the gravy train. (By the way it's our tax money, being used to oppress and torture Egyptians- but hey, people who oppose abortion have a RIGHT not to have THEIR MONEY spent by the Federal Government on abortion- hence poor women who don't live in states willing to foot the bill, ahve to pay, and foreign population control orgs. that want U.S. funds can't even MENTION abortion, and on and on, because abortion is a MORAL issue, don't you know, unlike, say, torture, or state terrorism, or dictatorship, or police state repression. I'm SO glad the United States is sooooo moral!)

Yemen and Jordan, two other U.S.-propped-up dictatorships, are seeing their people start to rise up now, inspired by the examples of the Tunisians and Egyptians- which they know about thanks to Al-Jazeera, a force for decency and humanity- quite unlike the U.S. media. (I.e. corporate propaganda system.)
