BEIRUT (Reuters) - The Syrian government, fighting to crush a two-year-old uprising against President Bashar al-Assad that started with peaceful calls for reform, said on Wednesday Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi should step down for the sake of his country.
Relishing the possible downfall of one of Assad's most vocal critics, Syrian television carried live coverage of the huge street demonstrations in Egypt demanding Mursi's departure.
"(Egypt's) crisis can be overcome if Mohamed Mursi realizes that the overwhelming majority of the Egyptian people reject him and are calling on him to go," Information Minister Omran Zoabi was quoted as saying by the state news agency SANA.
He also called on Egyptians to stand against the "terrorism and threats" of Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood supporters.
The Syrian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood is one of the most powerful factions behind the mostly Sunni Muslim uprising against Assad, who belongs to the Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi'ite Islam, and is being helped by Lebanon's Shi'ite Hezbollah militia.
Mursi has expressed support for foreign intervention against Assad and attended a rally two weeks ago calling for holy war in Syria.
A month ago, Syria responded to a wave of protests against Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, another fierce opponent of Assad, by calling on him to halt what it said was violent repression and step aside.

Syrian television and by extension Assad is even teaching it's citizens how to successfully grass-roots over overthrow a government.

Lebanon, the former Riviera of the Middle East, used to be a prosperous Christian country that shared power with it's Muslim minority.
Then they were outbred 6 to 1 and the rest is history.

HD, I like you. You're my kind of intelligent botll, but I suspect that after herfing 15 minutes with you I'd blow my brains out- and it's no slam on your homemade brew with the heaping servings of nail clippings, hair, and bouillon cube aftertaste.

There's a reason I stay uninformed these days...

Wait a minute.....you managed to find ammunition?!

Cheer up...just because the country is morally and fiscally bankrupt doesn't mean the party has to end. You need to think like a pirate or a looter!

Yes, what Frank said, Doc. I hope Skip from Bombay works out!

HD, I try not to think much about this country. So ironic because I was so politically active back in the day. Slick & the Bushes cured me of that.
It IS depressing to see the clueless voter turn to equally clueless leaders.

Some day I'm going to have to break down and buy a gun- by then it'll probably be illegal to own one...
May have to build a spud gun.
