Ironic or Planned? Mubarak Resigns On Iranian Regime Anniversary

I have read that in the Muslim world, events occurring on specific dates and anniversaries hold much significance. Yesterday, when it looked like Mubarak would resign as President of Egypt (but then backed away from that claim), I couldn't help but think about how ironic (strike that - how SCARY) it would be if the announcement was being held back until it coincided with the Iranian Regime celebration on the 32nd anniversary of the overthrow of the Shah of Iran (One of Jimmy Carter's worst moments).

We now have witnessed 32 years of evidence on how dreadfully awful THAT turned out for the people of Iran.

I hope and pray that the Muslim Brotherhood (see earlier post here) doesn't get a foothold in Egypt. That would be a VERY BAD OUTCOME.

Here are some blog posts on the announcement:

The next step is Obama brokering or at least claiming credit for the formation of a coalition government. This new coalition will include the Muslim Brotherhood, who will then seize control.

Iran redux.

Next, a fact to consider:
