My guess is that these people will wake up soon and realize that they are still poor and hungry. Mubarak, while no doubt part of the problem, is really just an excuse, similar to the great Satan (us), or Israel, or whatever

Yes, I think that's exactly what will happen. Their population just about doubled in the past 30 years, under Mubarak. It's becoming a demographic time bomb, a likely tragedy in the making. And - they never found a way to become productive and to support themselves properly. Not very much to be optimistic about.

I don't know if you watched the interview on Hannity I posted yesterday? It is a perfect example of what you say, with one glaring exception. You could see that the Muslim man knew he'd been caught by the color of his face when it was over. I don't think it was red because he was embarrassed, I think it was red because he was angry. In the end, he was still a proven liar/denier. And I know he was hoping the western audience was as ignorant as his audiences back home.
