Unfortunately, despite the rationality of peace - The Palestinieans and the Jews will find excuse to attack each other (All people, regardless of decent contain hardliners). Heck, even if religion or history weren't plausible enough, someone will make up another.

As to Eygpt's change of government, it's hopeful there won't be another un-democratic state, but it's a plausible and real fear there won't. Granted, I think that the real wish of any western government will be that no one will remember who helped keep Mubarak there.

Granted, it's rather amusing the focus of the media is on Eygpt despite everything tacking place in the rest of the middle east. Large amounts of the region are facing an uprise, hopefully a successful one.

The reason why the focus on Egypt is so intense is because of how important Egypt is as a nation. It's traditionally the centre of the Arab world. The fall of Mubarak will have other Arab dictators shaking in their boots, it's a very ill omen for them.

yeah if we rise as a nation all the arab world rises, if we fall like we have been for decades all arab nations fall. We depend greatly on america which is bad, if we get a proper president and ministry we won't need to depend on them as much, if we don't need o depend on them our influence on the world increases as we have the suez canal, and arab countries should follow our course of action if we become good. take a look at iraq now its fucked up though it has one of the largest if not the largest reserves of oil in the world, Saddam was stupid to attack kuwait and give america a reason to start a war with it especailly that the whole arab world was against iraq.
