Tunisia, whatever, but if Egypt get's owned by the Muslim Brotherhood et al, it could destabilize the region.

ElBaradei as potential leader seems a good thing?

ElBaradei as potential leader seems a good thing?

Had the same thought this morning when I read this NYT article (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/27/world/middleeast/27opposition.html?_r=1&hp) with this quote: "“It was the young people who took the initiative and set the date and decided to go,” Mohamed ElBaradei, the former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said Wednesday with some surprise during a telephone interview from his office in Vienna, shortly before rushing home to Cairo to join the revolt."

Here's his twitter feed: http://twitter.com/elbaradei

El Baradei does not have the guts to lead. He would be a puppet to someone or quickly fall.

You mean his opposition to "disarming" Iran?

Or his views on Israel's rogue nuclear weapons program?

Could you explain this further?

Yemen now as well....

Any bets on Saudi Arabia?

Elbaradei seems plenty fucking gutsy right now returning to the country and publicly accepting the position of the demonstration's figurehead/leader.

I hear we already have plans drawn up for military camps and "private contractors" to deploy into Yemen next. Someone i once worked with has a thriving business supplying contractors with spare parts over there and keeps calling me to go live in Kabul and lend a hand with the logistics. Crazy fucker drives around in a pickup. He has one of those lazy eyes though so it makes sense to me he is doing something that nuts.
