Mubarak supporters, protesters clash in Egypt - World news - Mideast/N. Africa - msnbc.com

Image via WikipediaWhy is this all over the news today? Whether or not you believe in the Bible. I just wanted to point this out. I will be posting more on this very soon. If you have never read Daniel 11 before, now would be a great time to start. I'm only pointing out part of the chapter here. Most don't realize that Egypt is the South mentioned here. Please read the full chapter here.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+11&version=NKJV
 ^{Daniel 11
25} “He shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South with a great army. And the king of the South shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand, for they shall devise plans against him. ²⁶ Yes, those who eat of the portion of his delicacies shall destroy him; his army shall be swept away, and many shall fall down slain. ²⁷ Both these kings’ hearts shall be bent on evil, and they shall speak lies at the same table; but it shall not prosper, for the end will still be at the appointed time. ²⁸ While returning to his land with great riches, his heart shall be moved against the holy covenant; so he shall do damage and return to his own land.

Is this that time? I have a feeling the next few days or weeks will tell us if it is or not.

CAIRO — Several thousand supporters of embattled President Hosni Mubarak, some galloping in on horses and camels and wielding whips, charged into a crowd of anti-government protesters Wednesday, instigating violent clashes as Egypt's upheaval took a dangerous new turn.

The two sides rained stones, bottles, firebombs and even satellite dishes (ripped off nearby buildings) on each other.
Egypt's health minister said at least one person was killed and nearly 600 wounded in the violence. The dead man, killed when he fell from a bridge, was a soldier, the minister said. Several foreign journalists were among the injured, according to media reports.

Unrest in Egypt: What’s going on?

For the past few years Governments and the worlds population have tried so hard to ignore what happens with Big Governments. History time and time again proves this and yet, it's happening again.

As so many keep trying to think on fluffy bunnies and don't pay attention. It makes me wonder what they will do when this actually hits home. The muslim people have been ruled with an iron thumb for so long now. You can't help but to feel sorry for all the lies they have been forced to live under.

Yet even here in America, what so many are trying to do is bring so-called change. This is exactly what that change is. Big Government takes away Freedom. This is what happens under big government and the people have finally had enough.

Those that think we need more Government in America? This is the end result.

Michele Dunne is a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for Peace. She has served as a specialist on Middle East affairs with the White House and the State Department, and has written widely on Arab politics, and political and economic reform. The Lookout asked her to explain what's going on in Egypt, and what it means for America.

LOOKOUT: What are the protesters angry about, and what do they want done?
M.D.: Protesters have a large number of economic, political, and human-rights grievances. Widespread youth unemployment, rigged parliamentary elections in November 2010, and the prospect of President Mubarak (in power since 1981) beginning another term--or being replaced by his son--are the sparks that set these demonstrations off. The demonstrators are asking for Mubarak to step down and make way for an interim government to prepare for free elections.

LOOKOUT: Is there a real chance that Mubarak's government might fall?
M.D.: Yes, there is a real possibility, but that does not seem to be imminent yet. As in Tunisia, the regime would begin to be uncertain if internal security services could not handle demonstrations and the army were called in. Armies generally don't like firing on their own civilians and sometimes will choose keeping the loyalty of the population over defending an unpopular ruler.
LOOKOUT: If so, what might replace Mubarak's regime? What role might ElBaradei play?
M.D.: There is a shadow government and parliament, formed in December, that has positioned itself as the opposition party with which the government can negotiate if things reach that point.  But things are very fluid right now. ElBaradei could possibly play a leadership role within the opposition, although up until now he has been more effective at articulating popular grievances than at organizing or leading opposition groups.
LOOKOUT: How might a shift in power affect U.S. interests?
M.D.: U.S. interests are being challenged here. The United States has been tepid in supporting human rights and democracy in Egypt for years and has to deal with the resentment among Egyptians because of that. Partly for that reason, and partly because of the close association of the United States with Israel, any alternate group that comes to power might distance itself from the United States to some extent.

Calls for Iran sanctions as Russia expresses nuclear missile fears

clipped from www.timesonline.co.uk Iran’s Supreme Leader took to the deck of a naval guided missile destroyer yesterday in defiance of the international storm sparked by the United Nations’ warning that Tehran may be building a nuclear bomb. There were renewed calls for sanctions from the United States, Britain, France and Germany. But some of the strongest reaction came from Russia, the country traditionally most reluctant to impose them, raising hopes of a consensus at the UN Security Council. We’ve said time and again that our religious principles and beliefs consider such weapons to be a symbol of destruction that is forbidden Mohamed ElBaradei, said the evidence that the agency had gathered “raises concerns about the possible existence in Iran of past or current undisclosed activities related to the development of a nuclear payload for a missile”, which Iran had repeatedly refused to address.
