Egypt leaves the Internet

but educated Egyptians are saying that him leaving office prematurely will cause civil war


Quote:Perhaps it will, but perhaps it won't. Neither of us live in Egypt. Therefore, we cannot comment about the people's ability to live peacefully under his "rule" until September. Who is to say that a reformed constitution will make things more peaceful, anyway? If people want him out, he should get out.
Because a constitution can decide the power granted to the government and the rights of the people, i mean the espionage act is unconstitutional in America and was used to break it, but it's harder if you have court saying:
"fuck you, you can't do that"

Quote:When was the last riot concerning Obama leaving office? There is no civil unrest because of Obama being in office. The most violent protest against him probably took place on facebook. The United States isn't perfect, but we certainly don't have the same valid complaints that Egyptians do. If riots started happening everywhere because of something Obama did and the complaints were valid, he would be impeached.
The republican seats in the whatever americans call the parliament, showed that they are displeased, by your logic that people don't want him should oust him even trough it's in his legal right to stand for the remaining of it's 6 month terms, Egyptians tolerated him for 33 years, they can tolerate 6 more months and come up with a constitution that works(which i assume that takes power from the president)

Same reason why the prime minister in Iraq is planning to put a eight years limit term(or 2 elections) to the prime minister/president/whatever the iraqian have as a leader

Mostly because the power of my president is mostly symbolic, he has very important powers(dissolve the parliament, pass or reject laws, forgive crimes, enforce conscription in case of State Defence or War...), but he hardly ever uses them, which in my opinion is the ideal powers of the president[/quote]
