Reply #9: I AM jumping up and down because I want to see all spurious authoritarian regimes

[lutherj]

brought down. I also don't know what will come next. But nothing will come next until the current autocratic regime falls. If what comes next is no better, or worse, than what they have now, then let's hope the masses take to the streets again. There are a few more regimes around the world I would like to see fall (ahem . . .) -- systems designed to convert the modest wealth of the many into the extravagant wealth of the few; systems that only respond to the concerns of corporations, not of the people; systems that deny the reality of climate change and resource depletion for the sake of the next election and the next quarterly profit statement. The world is reaching a tipping point. I sincerely hope it will come fast enough. And in any case, are you saying that the people of Egypt should remain oppressed by a "torturing, dictatorial thug" until their revolution earns the good-house-keeping-seal-of-approval from America's liberal class, that can't even implement a single-payer health care system, let alone end two pointless wars in one of the poorest regions on earth? Would you wait?
