Now, to be sure, I'm all in favor of the people of Egypt taking to the streets in their noble and brave attempt to get some dignity into their government.  The Egyptian people have a right to express themselves and certainly have the right to expect a government free of corruption.  I hope their dreams for a new and better Egypt come to fruition.

My problem is with our own country's rhetoric and official statements to the Egyptian government. 

If they are indeed an immoral, corrupt and otherwise deficient government with lackluster and conniving leadership why in the holy $#^+ do we give them billions of dollars in aid every year?  This Cairo gangster didn't just turn rotten this past week - he's been a scoundrel since day one.  And evidently we wanted to support his devilish ways with our U.S. tax money. Because we have.  To the tune of cold hard cash and a lot of it. 

But now that it's out in the open  - OOPS!  Let's get behind the people, not the jerk we've been supporting for the last 30 years by supplying him and his cronies billions and billions and billions of  U.S. currency to keep his little whorehouse of a government running.  Why is our government so stupid with our money and the way we supposedly help people?  We want to admonish the Egyptian government when in fact we should be apologizing to its citizenship.

Bottom line is this...  We have been aligning ourselves with, and equipping a dirty rotten government, enabling it to malnourish and rob its citizens for decades. By coming out for the Egyptian people NOW, after sleeping with the enemy all these dark nights, makes it a worthy time to take an inner look at the stone age way we handle world affairs.

Come on people we must do better than this.
