#3 On today's episode of The Post American World...

Wouldn't it be a hoot if the Mediterrainian Union had been formed? Just imagine the wackiness of French uniformed soldiers by obligation of treaty to enter Egypt...or would it be EU troops...or NATO?

Obama wants Mubarak out so US troops would be there for that, France under obligation to defend Mubarak, and both there legally!

But wait there's more, all the while Egyptians are attacking everybody!

#4 The price of fuel will go through the roof sooner or later, regardless of what happens in Egypt.
The figure I read is that 5% of world oil tanker trade goes through the Suez Canal. Also remember the canal was closed down completely from 1967-1975.

#5 So did Mr. Potato Head show up to talk to the union bosses? With his pockets bulging full of Iranian cash?
