    That depends. Are they being killed for being Muslim women who went apostate or bought a cell phone? Are Westerners shooting them? Was it the same elements of Western society that were dating them? Was it on Jerry Springer?

    As tu quoque goes, that was a sad'un.

    I knows! And some people don't get this. Crazy, innit?

    Tiassa: i) kudos to the Committee, ii) no, no one will notice, iii) let's hope they're right. Frankly, it smells like a seat change.

    That's probably best, since you have no leg to stand on, and don't really follow what the thread is about.

    Um, because we're grown-ups who have seen how politics works everywhere?

    Well if you already know that I'm going to give you the right answer, and you know what that answer is, why ask?

    Overheard on the radio: One of the factors may be that the Egyptian army includes many draftees, and they are not geographically alienated (by posting them to distant and unfamiliar places among strangers, say).

    Draftees may not be as loyal to their government as is required to put down popular revolts that include their home towns and people.

    The military is in close relationship with the US, both material and personal, from decades of the US equipping its forces and training its officers.

    Are you agreeing, then, that we may discuss Islamic "honor killing" using the kinds of terms and concepts we use for discussing racial lynchings in the US?

    By such parallel then: can the women of Egypt look forward to the same general kinds of changes in their status, post-Revolution, that black people in the US enjoyed after the various cataclysms of American society?

    The revolution isn't over yet, this was just the first act, the Muslim Brotherhood wasn't impressed or satisfied.


    Have you looked at the track record of Muslim Countries when it comes to institutionalized exploitation, corruption, greed, graft, avarice, and malfeasance in office..

    Who cares? They are a minority.

    The Brotherhood will be making the women cover up, wearing those sister hoods, and all that goes with it, like stoning sinners. Better that a dead Pharaoh rule.

    Tunisia, Egypt, and Iran are similar situations, in that their leadership has embarrassed their populations, by being such horrendous boneheads, that were afraid to learn how to click a mouse.

    Old bonehead monarchs and ayatollahs are failed dusty cans on the shelf, way beyond their expiration dates.

    They are a significant minority; and minorities push majorities without opposing viewpoints.

    Graft and institutionalised theft are certainly easier with an autocracy.
    Wherever people have unregulated power, you get corruption.
    Even Democratic governments can be corrupt.
    Witness the allocation of reconstruction contracts in Iraq after the US had blasted the hell out of it.
    Not so much allocation as Old-Pal-ocation.
