with that said, i am thinking el baradei might actually be a great figurehead leader. the guy is respected in western circles and puts a friendly non violent face on the situation. of course he would be propped up by the brotherhood, as the brotherhood has been dealing with this guy for a while now.

There are people today who think that admitting God’s absolute greatness decreases the value and importance of humans in the creation, as if God and mankind are rivals competing in greatness and power. Meanwhile I feel that whenever our perception of God’s greatness increases, with it we become greater, because we are the creation of a great God.

i obviously meant western perception of him. what he really is or has done means less than what people think of him. that said, he was vocal against US intervention in iraq on the basis of wmds, do u really think a small fry like him and the powerless org he was the head of could really be responsible for a war headed by a super power? lol i dont like the guy, but i wont lie about him either.There are people today who think that admitting God’s absolute greatness decreases the value and importance of humans in the creation, as if God and mankind are rivals competing in greatness and power.

what false impression? like i said he was outspoken against intervention in iraq based on wmds, as was the guy who came before him, hans blix. he is hardly an arab face for anything, as he had little to no popular support among any arab population. he was a virtual stranger to egypt until just a year or so ago.
One of the major issues during ElBaradei’s second term as the Director General of the IAEA was the Agency’s inspections in Iraq. ElBaradei disputed the US rationale for the 2003 invasion of Iraq from the time of the 2002 Iraq disarmament crisis, when he, along with Hans Blix, led a team of UN weapons inspectors in Iraq. ElBaradei told the UN Security Council in March 2003 that documents purporting to show that Iraq had tried to acquire uranium from Niger were not authentic.
ElBaradei described the U.S. invasion of Iraq as "a glaring example of how, in many cases, the use of force exacerbates the problem rather than solving it."[11] ElBaradei further said "we learned from Iraq that an inspection takes time, that we should be patient, that an inspection can, in fact, work,"[12] and that he had "been validated" in concluding that Saddam Hussein had not revived his nuclear weapons program.[13]
In a 2004 op-ed piece on the dangers of nuclear proliferation, in the New York Times (February 12, 2004), ElBaradei stated "We must abandon the unworkable notion that it is morally reprehensible for some countries to pursue weapons of mass destruction, yet morally acceptable for others to rely on them for security - and indeed to continue to refine their capacities and postulate plans for their use."[14] He went on to say "If the world does not change course, we risk self-destruction."
not to mention, he had problems with one of americas biggest neo cons, bolton.There are people today who think that admitting God’s absolute greatness decreases the value and importance of humans in the creation, as if God and mankind are rivals competing in greatness and power.

Do you guys really think things will change? Are you people aware that the USA offers ~$1billion in military assistance to Egypt?Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.
A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

I dont know why people are crying about oh if Mubarak goes, then who knows wat will replace him. If you have been oppressed by that dog, then i think you wouldn't care who replaces him. But that is not even the case, because the Egyptians are not that stupid or uneducated to just let someone just pop out of nowhere and claim leadership after Mubarak.....Comment
