Condi's words have an impact

For the first time in Egypt, anti-Mubarak protestors did not have to contend with police interference. The Popular Movement for Change walked up and down the streets in north Cairo chanting "Down, down, with Mubarak". They also shouted "America take him(Mubarak)give him a visa/ And take back with you, Condoleeza". People in support of Mubarak marched on the opposite side of the street. The police did not stop any one from joining either group.

After the protestors of both sides finished marching, another first occurred, the two sides held debates to argue their positions. Most of the onlookers were bemused, indifferent, or angry. SwissInfo

You go girl!!! Condi's words and President Bush's policies are having a definite impact. Not only is Mubarak permitting open opposition but the opposition is taking advantage of it. I have stated in other posts that the people in the Middle East and around the world hang onto to the words that President Bush and Secretary Condoleeza Rice speak. For too long other presidents have ignored the people living in those oppressive countries in exchange for stability. As Secretary Rice stated it has not created stability nor relieved the longings of people to self-determine their government.

Condi should run for president in the next elections. She has more guts then any other person seeking the nomination.
