Ronald Reagan by Ron Reagan

The New York Times: Has a very sympathetic review of the biography of Ronald Reagan by Ron Reagan. Those were the days folks, Reagan in the Oval and Lady Thatcher in 10 Downing Street, the economic boom years of the 1980s and the end of the Cold War. When looking at Presidents and PMs this blog always goes back to the greats, how do they compare to Reagan, is a President strong, is he feared, feared is better than respected, does he cut taxes, is Maine Street and Wall Street on the raise, is the military strong, is the Government the servant of the people, etc, your typical Conservative ideas. In the UK, does the PM stand up to our enemies, is Government about cutting taxes and cutting down the Unions, do we win legal Wars. Those were the days folks, what days, what times, will we ever see those days again!

E- Day - Live Commentary from Egypt


Guardian: Is on the ground, and has live commentary. Read and Decide.

Egypt on the BRINK ?

Telegraph: Reports on the growing violent protests in Egypt, and how the Government forces are going in hard on those protesting. Well tomorrow its E - Day ( Egypt Day ) for the Government and for the people of Egypt. This could be a chance for Egypt to become a secular democracy in the Middle East, or it can become another Iran. A secular Arab Democracy that recognizes Israel would be a great achievement for the State of Egypt and for the Middle East and a great buffer to Iran. On the other hand it could go the way of Iran, and this would be big trouble for the Middle East and for the Obama Administration, what if extreme Islamic forces take over Egypt and revoke the peace agreement between Israel and Egypt. This would be Iran all over again for President Obama, he would have Iran as a major influence in Egypt and Lebanon, this would be a massive victory for Iran, also it would allow them to buy time to create its nuclear bomb, also what would Israel do if Egypt went under the influence of Iran, nightmare time. Hope and troubling days ahead folks, yes for a secular democratic Egypt, but if comes down to extreme Islamic forces then the government should go in mob handed, this is not the time for Obama to become Jimmy Carter, the Oval should read the Carter Diary and see how a bright President miss read Iran, Obama can not allow himself to become a Carter Mark 11.
