Egypt clashes push up oil, gold futures

SILVER up about a $1 to $27.90 too. The 30-year Mubarack Egyptian government, about to be overturned by the Egyptian citizenry.

This chain of events reminds me of when the USSR fell and the Berlin Wall came down. I wish these people a chance to be free but fear the weakening of governments which could usher in more Islamic theocracy's such as Iran. I hope this pushes these countries into a more republic style government. Looks like Jordan and Albania are up next....

Anyone concerned about this violence in Egypt, which is being caused by radical islamists against the more moderate muslim Mubarak? Not only this, Obama and Hillary are trying to get Mubarak out of there. This will actually make Egypt look more like Iran. This is not good for the USA, and remember whover controls Egypt, controls the Suez Canal, which is essential for military and shipments from and to the area.

I think the American Empire should stay out of the affairs of Egypt. Let the Egyptians decide what is best for Egypt. Mubarak has been a repressive dictator for 30 years.

The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is, in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. ... George Washington, Farewell Address

I agree with country. Let Egyptians decide Egypt.

Muberak was a puppet dictator. Both Christians and Musllims are standing together against his regime.

For a country that pays so much lip service to diversity, we sure do spend alot of money and spill alot of blood trying to make the world America. Leave Egypt be...

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
