Yeah,... what is this supposed to prove?
Lebanon is still to the north, Jordan to the east, and Egypt is still to the south...
Although, I do 'need' to back off my statement. Upon laying down to go to sleep, last night... I had been flipping the channels around and caught 30 seconds of the Beck show. He had been head-long into one of his psychotic blackboard rants... Beck was saying something very similar to what I was saying. He had drawn on the boards flame icons on the countries surrounding Israel....
The part I'm talking about isn't in this video, but this is a portion of that rant:
The Coming Insurrection: Egypt – Glenn Beck
I can NOT have this.... I will not be tied to believing anything that Beck believes.
I now adjust my position to ... the ME is the envy of Disneyland.
THERE!!!... all better.

Back to reality... (or something that resembles something closely to what's really going on)
Interesting observations in the News for Tuesday... The early evening Situation Room CNN show had been making every effort to minimize the scope of the crowd. The CNN announcers said, "There are hundreds, at least thousands of protesters in the square..." - then I flip to MSNBC to see an announcer from the rival network describe the scene more honestly by numbering the crowd estimates in the 100's of thousands of protesters.
Later, in the evening - Anderson Cooper is interviewing a person that is clearly American/Egyptian with an obvious American accent... the woman saying, "There aren't enough people, ... most people are staying at home..."
The other angle that CNN is pushing is that Egypt should NOT rush into this whole Democracy thing...
It almost appears that CNN is putting forth an agenda to stifle the protesting of Mubarak. I would safely assume that most American viewers support the people of Egypt, but it's not the case with the State Dept. Channel of CNN.
