Eeeeeeh, Not Quite

There has been much speculation concerning the violence in Egypt. What kind of uprising is this? A yearning for Democracy? A hostile, Taliban-esque takeover? Should Obama support the action, why is their still violence if Mubarak is leaving, will Drakar be able to stay in business without the large middle eastern nation in full buying effect? They questions make your head spin.

Today however, one of those questions was answered by the pro-Mubarak faction who stormed Cairo riding camels and wielding whips.

Riding camels. Wielding whips.

This revolt may be a lot of things but a popular movement for democracy it isn't. I'm sorry but riding around on camels whipping people like some bizarro Paul Revere just screams "Not Ready for Freedom" Unfortunately, it also signals to people like the Muslim Brotherhood that Sharia law might have finally won the day.

History shows us that this is the case. Revolution in Rwanda done with machetes. No liberty. French revolution, all guillotine, all terrifying. Spanish Civil War? Yikes. It's the same as if the American Revolution was completely conducted by the people responsible for the Salem Witch Trials.

The only question left is just how kooky this thing is going to get.
