Egypt
What do you guys think of Mubaraks refusals to step down immediately? As much as that country wants change, 15 days of protest is really going to screw up their economy if this continues. I cannot imagine what kinds of losses business owners must be taking in Cairo & Alexandria.

I fear that any scenario of Mubarak either staying or departing will screw up economy. On the other hand, wasn't it screwed up before the uprising?

I am quietly confident and happy that any new government there will not be a friend of Israel.

His logic (sorry for using oxymoron) calls for the war between Egypt and Israel, even though I can't see anyone who would benefit from it (apart from very few terrorist leaders).
