I've mentioned before that the unseating of Murabek in Egypt does not make any rational sense. 30 year, iron-fisted dictatorships do not give up because of 18 days of civilian, unarmed protests, with a mere 300 casualties and a pile of rocks being thrown.
I believe Murabek was sacraficed in order to foment the idea in the minds of the citizens that they can actually unseat their leaders. In doing so, the whole region has the potential to tip into chaos, as in fact, we are seeing right now.
Now the US, having little left in the way of the patience of the world due to their aggressive occupation of Iraq and Afganistan, can no longer go about posturing in this region for fear that the international community will have had enough. But they do have a playing card that would 'justify' in taking further, and more aggressive action in the region....one that would find support of many of their own citizens, and also much of Europe's. That card would be active aggression towards Israel.
If enough chaos is stirred in the M/E, and the balance of power lands in the hands of Muslim extremists, you can bet your bottom dollar Israel will be a live target. That would of course lead to 'justified' carpet bombing of the entire region, especially Iran.
Again, the whole issue of Murabek being ousted by such a minor schrimage leads me to think there is a lot more going on than meets the eye.
mho, fwiw.
