Alan Woods: Egypt On Brink Of Civil War

[Rakhmetov]

If civil war erupts in Egypt then the Saudi feudal fiends will intervene on orders of Obama and will prop up Mubarak. Things are looking bad.

If Alan Woods says it, it must be true!

Come on, we both know Woods gets all giddy whenever a few riots break out. I highly doubt the Egyptian situation will develop into a civil war. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's not very likely.

Not likely. The protesters do not have the wherewithal to confront the army, which has opted for Mubarak.

the army is not all one unit.

within the army there are still class distinctions. though they are elevated above their fellow workers they are still far below the officers corps.

if things turn bad, i am hoping for a split in the military or else there is NO chance of the revolution succeeding.
