The Boiling Point Posted by Shadi Hamid

How you feel about the following YouTube video probably says something about how you feel about the broader effort to promote Middle East democracy. Watch this and it may become clear to you. My own sentiments were clarified. The Egyptian people, as it is often said, are cautious, "passive," and not particularly prone to taking to the streets. But this may be changing. The scene below is remarkable. In a society where every word and move is permeated with fear, here you have a significant number of people in full public view making their anger known, doing something very, very dangerous. It is also perhaps a signal of the unfolding tragedy to come. Meanwhile, America watches and does nothing. When the boiling point comes (and, unless you think dictatorship is permanent, it will), it will likely be too late. But it is not too late yet. There is still time to act.

The United States has to presure the Egyptian government to have a Jordanian type constitution in which the radicals have somewhat of a say in the running of the government and thereby take some of the blame when things go badly. If United States does nothing, the Egyptian goevernment then runs the risk of being overthrown by radicals. If this happens a major war between Egypy and Israel will be likely and this could be very dangerous due to the fact that Israel has a stockpile nuclear weapons.

For those who have not used a 24-hour hand, it makes one full revolution of the dial over 24 hours which means that 12 pm is at 6 clock on the dial. This features allows you to track two timezones: one using the standard time hands, and the other using the GMT hand and the 24hr bezel. The bezel has a grippy coin edge and a light but clicky turn.The included bracelet is nice and light. Replica Casio Watches features solid end links (spring bars), and the outer links of the bracelet are screwed together. The clasp has a fold-over design with a signed safety. The bracelet is a perfect fit for the Replica Wittnauer Watches and integrates beautifully with the lugs. I will mention that the PVD on the bracelet is very light and after some considerable time on my wrists, there is noticeable wear. If PDV wear bothers you, go with the brushed/polished model instead (brushed on top and polished on the sides of the case).This is a Replica Vacheron Constantin that is up for just about any task and does so with little fuss or explanation. I wore it on a twelve day trip to San Francisco and Replica Ulysse Nardin Watches kept up perfectly. The Replica Zodiac Watches is light enough to be worn without consideration, classy enough to be worn with any attire, and with the GMT complication, it is a traveler's best friend. It's amazingly accurate; many days, it showed no deviance at all, and after a month, it is usually within +/-4 seconds.The G-1 starts at $549, which is an amazing price for a watch of this quality. Many other Replica Tommy Hilfiger Watches that feature this movement retail for hundreds to thousands more, and the G-1 is without a doubt the best design from OCEAN7 that we have reviewed to date. The model as reviewed is $599, and the buyer can choose from a series of bezel colors to suit either finish.OCEAN7 Watch Company have outdone themselves on the new G-1 GMT *** a very cool watch that doesn't sacrifice quality, features, looks, or everyday practicality; For updates on content, follow Watch Report on Twitter.
