Today Robert Gibbs said that it is not the business of the United States to get involved with who should be in power in other countries, and in this case, specifically Egypt. Although the citizens of that country are clearly in support and are indeed DYING to get a more democratic government, the U.S. could not or would not ask President Mubarak to step down because, again, this was not our place. This is funny because we are in the middle of two conflicts right now in which we set out to depose the ruling government in order to install a more friendly, democratic government. Although both countries undoubtedly had corrupt rulers, neither was begging for support to have a democratic government like Egypt is. So what's the difference?
The U.S. happens to support Mubarak.
