But I digress, the situation in Egypt is a disaster and triumph all at the same time. It is one of the strangest news envents I have ever witnessed because how different the views are on the many issues brought about by the revolution, especially here in the United States. Lets begin:

So far this year, nothing has bothered me more in the political world than the U.S. commentary shows. Glen Beck made one of the most insane theories ever spoken on television when he said

The protests in Egypt are being orchestrated by an alliance of Communists and Islamic fundamentalists who seek to overthrow capitalism and make a "new world order."

.....What? This is probably one of the most infuriating parts about the revolution and its resulting analysis. These people were opressed for 30 years, dictated by Mubarak's every whim. There is tangible evidence that Egypt is moving towards democracy, but this is besides the point. These people have no reason to be concerned with a new world order, they need to look after their country before they go anywhere else. To try and smear the revolutionaries
