What’s Next For Egypt, Israel and America? By Jeff Pozmantier
Update: February 11[singlepic id=483 w=320 h=240 float=right]
The original column on “What’s next for Egypt and Israel” appears below these updates. I left that column as is because it is about the only thing related to Egypt’s revolution that will remain “as is.”
What comes next as we move from Revolution Day 19 to the post-Mubarak era is not known or knowable. We can hope that democracy takes root. We can hope that the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamic umbrella group with both dangerous and moderate tentacles. does exactly what it says and fulfills its promise not to participate in the next election. We can hope the Muslim Brotherhood becomes part of the Egyptian fabric instead of insisting on its own religious
The Egyptian uprising – implications for regional stability: the US, Iran and Israel
The popular uprising in Egypt will have far reaching consequences for many years to follow. Regardless of the domestic implications of the uprising, the[singlepic id=482 w=320 h=240 float=right] impending regime change will have a profound impact on Middle Eastern geopolitical stability. The region is due to enter a period of volatility and increasing chances for eruption of violence. This argument is based on the following assumptions.
First, neither President Mubarak, his son, nor any other political figure affiliated with his corrupt regime will remain in power. Second, the next President or ruling party will be chosen democratically, or at the very least will be more representative of the political aspirations of the people. The majority of Egyptians

Is Egyptian Democracy A Threat? – An Israeli Point of View – By Jeff Pozmantier
Does America’s carefully calibrated response to the Egyptian contretemps risk placing America ”on the wrong side of history?” That’s the fear expressed by [singlepic id=479 w=320 h=240 float=right] various political pundits, some of whom may have only recently passed their DeVry University political punditry courses. It’s also the argument made by new Egyptian leaders such as the nomadic Mohamed ElBaradei. They want America to take more aggressive action to get Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak to leave. Now.
America, in their minds, should be run like an episode of “24.” See the evil leader. See the 30 years of repressive rule. See the poverty. See the evil leader’s
Was the Egyptian Revolt deliberately hatched/driven by a foreign agency? – By Samer Nammari
Some people claim that what we are saying today on the streets of Cairo is a plot designed to destabalize Egypt and the whole Middle East in order to create a [singlepic id=478 w=320 h=240 float=right] new order in the Arab world. However, if we look at revolutions across history we can detect a few elements that have much in common with the still-going Egyptian revolt. The most obvious example to be cited is the French Revolution. Bear in mind that revolutions are, in fact, a series of events and changes that occur across social, political and econmic levels over a span of time; what’s happening in Egypt is still a revolt against the government and hasn’t progressed
For the Egyptian People Revolution – A Video By Nizar Abu Zayyad
“When Dictatorship is a fact, Revolution becomes a Right.”
The Egyptian Revolution…A beginning for a change that is needed in the Arab world
The world is still observing and understanding what is going on in Egypt. No one predicted such a sudden change and move from the people who have been [singlepic id=476 w=320 h=240 float=right] ruled by President Mubarak for more than thirty years. Even the super intelligence agencies did not predict such a quick and sudden change in the Arab world.
It all started ten days ago when Egyptian protestors went out to demonstrate after creating several Facebook groups calling for a change after the people revolution in Tunisia. Many did not believe that social networks such as Facebook would succeed in helping to make such a movement that later found a great
