Any society that would give up a little liberty for a little security deserves neither and will lose both.

Out of Egypt -- Happy Birthday Egypt


President Mubarak finally stepped down from power in Egypt. Mubarak in the end was not tossed out, thrown out or executed. In the end the people of Egypt simply refused to follow. The people of Egypt have learned, Democracy is not gifted, inherited or a right. Democracy is not for everyone, although none are denied.
Leaders who govern with fear from a police state cannot lead those who will not follow. The Fear of Police will only enrage The Patriots of Democracy
In some way the United States provided the Egyptian people with protection from genocide. Had Mubarak used deadly force the United States would have cut aid and forced the United Nations to remove the 30 year Dictator.
