LOL! Uh, no, I don't. I guess you're not aware that Mubarak was wounded during the assassination? He was on the reviewing stand with Sadat. The terrorists had hoped to kill both Sadat and Mubarak. Terrorists tried to kill Mubarak in 1995.
Yeah, sure, guy, you keep telling yourself that..
Obviously, you don't know a coup when you see one.
LOL! You are the gift that just keeps on giving. Oh, it was a coup attempt all right: a coup attempt by radical Muslims. But it was quickly put down.
Radical Muslims hated Mubarak, which is why they tried to kill him again in 1995.
Can you cite a single even halfway credible scholar who believes that Mubarak was behind Sadat's assassination? I mean, again, Mubarak was on the stand with Sadat and barely escaped death in the attack.
In case you want to stop making ignorant statements about the results of the deposing of Mubarak:
Sisi Isn't Mubarak. He's Much Worse.
Sisi Isn't Mubarak. He's Much Worse.
Humm, it's interesting your take on Middle Eastern affairs so frequently resembles the radical Muslim viewpoint.
You mean, reality? Hey, guy, we are in YEAR 19 OF THE WAR ON TERROR. We are probably in a worse position than we were when we started by any metric. If anyone has a "viewpoint" based on wishful thinking and fantasy, it's you and your imperialistic viewpoint. The Arab world is still mad at us, for the same things they were mad at us about when the planes hit the towers.
This polemic doesn't address my point.
And, uh, the war on terror has been going on for a lot longer than 19 years, at least down here on this planet, but maybe not on the one you inhabit.
Like I said, it's not always a choice between good and bad but between somewhat bad and very bad.
Yeah, giving your love for Fascism, that's not saying much...
Leaving aside your butchered grammar, as I've already pointed out, you, in fact, are the one who seems to love fascism, which is just another form of totalitarianism. The Palestinian regime in Gaza is certainly fascist by any definition. So is the radical Muslim regime in Iran. Given that Red China has now largely ditched socialist economic policies, it can rightly be considered a fascist regime. The only difference between a fascist regime and a communist regime is their economic policies. Other than that, they are identical in every key respect: both suppress freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, and both deny the right to elect your leaders, the right to due process, and the right to a fair trial by a jury of your peers.
I, on the other hand, reject fascism, communism, and all other totalitarian isms. I embrace libertarian freedom, limited government, the right of private property, and pluralism as taught in the writings of John Locke, Adam Smith, William Blackstone, William Rawle, Joseph Story, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Alexander Hamilton.
you still think the wrong side lost World War II.
I do?! Huh, I'm just drawing a blank trying to remember ever saying any such thing. But, hey, facts never seem to concern you anyway. And if I "still think the wrong side lost World War II," then I guess I can say, with far more credibility, that you think that murdering 30 million people is progress and stability, right? I mean, you are the same JoeB131 who said, several times in the Nanking Massacre thread, that Chairman Mao, who was arguably the worst mass murderer in human history, brought economic prosperity, stability, and progress to China after he took over, right? And didn't you also say that it was a good thing that the Communists took over China instead of the Nationalists, and that the people in Red China under Mao were better off than the people in Taiwan under Chiang Kaishek? That was you who said those things, right? Right? Hey?
And, oh yeah, aren't you the same JoeB131 who denied that Stalin committed genocide and who minimized his mass murders? Is there another JoeB131 on this forum? Is someone perhaps using your login without your knowledge?
And, uh, aren't you the same JoeB131 who consistently attacks Israel as a tyranny but who won't say a word about the genuine Palestinian tyranny in Gaza? I asked you before, and you ducked the question, to tell me how you would compare basic civil rights in Israel as opposed to Gaza. You ducked the question because even you surely know that Israel is a vibrant democracy with a robust free press, an independent judiciary, free elections, etc., whereas Gaza is a squalid tyranny that resembles the brutal regimes in Iran, Syria, and Cuba.
