In Egypt, they don't have many rights at all. A picture of Mubarrat is on almost every corner. How would you like to have a picture of Bush on every corner?
The police in Egypt will grab your camera, at tourist spots such as the the pyramids, and make you pay a dollar for them to take a picture of you. You have no choice but to pay them, or they confiscate your camera.
It's a good thing we live in America or the jails would be full of the left leaning bloggers the way they vilify Bush, Cheney, Republicans and America in general. At times there is just nuttin' right in the USA. Of course they wouldn't think about leaving, just like barbra s., bill maher, or some of the other famous movie stars that were going to leave the US if Bush was reelected. I guess we are just stuck with them.
