The Facebook Video that started the Egyptian Revolution

Unlike Saddam Hussein, who was duped by the U.S. diplomat into invading Kuwait in 1990, it was the revolting Egyptian people who bit the hand that "fed" it, instead of the dictator.

This is why United States and Israel meddled in Egyptian affairs, in artificially supporting the brutal autocratic dictatorship for a long time, that led to the revolution.

Egyptian revolution repeats history following French revolution (starvation and class distinction under monarchy government) and Iran revolution (oppression under autocratic government). 

It is the short-sighted foreign policy of U.S. in collaboration with State of Israel in "containing" Egypt with the peace treaty and incentives of toxic absolute-power and annual billion-dollar foreign aid that fueled the Egyptian revolution.

This is why U.S. should never have been involved in Egyptian affairs. May Egyptian revolution live on that lead to great socio-political change & prosperity and democratic reform.

Egypt should rescind peace treaty with the State of Israel after the new government is instituted. "Zionist Occupied Government" no more.
