Egypt's Collapse Would Devastate Region
As the political turmoil in Egypt continues, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says she's concerned about an Egyptian military official's assertion that the current situation could lead to the collapse of the Egyptian state.
"I think that would lead to incredible chaos and violence on a scale that would be devastating for Egypt and the region," Clinton said in a CNN interview Tuesday at the State Department. "There has to be some understanding by the new government that the aspirations that the people were expressing during the revolution in Egypt have to be taken seriously. And it - it cannot in any way be overlooked that there is a large number of Egyptians who are not satisfied with the direction of the economy and the political reform."
"I think the messages and the action coming from the (Egyptian) leadership has to be changed in order to give people confidence that they're on the right path to the kind of future they seek," she said.
The U.S. secretary of state said she knows it's not an easy transition.
"It's very difficult going from a closed regime and ... essentially one-man rule, to a democracy that is trying to be born and learn to walk. But there are some clear lessons."
Clinton, who will retire from her position at the end of the week, spent a few tense hours with Morsy last November as the Egyptian president worked with the Israeli government and the leadership of Hamas to broker a cease-fire between the Israelis and the Islamic movement in Gaza.

It is interesting to watch all the chaos in virtually ALL the nations and peoples surrounding Israel.
It makes one look closer at Psalm 83 and wonder if these nations are ALREADY being destroyed right in front of our eyes?
"May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace. Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord--that you alone are the Most High over all the earth." Psalm 83:17
Wow...that will certainly be something....when all those Muslims realize that Allah is NOT the Most High!...and that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob actually IS THE MOST HIGH!
