Egypt

[Hoosier]

Here's real coverage, quite interesting stuff. The Egyptian military has rolled in to Cairo, and is being cheered and welcomed by the people. They surrounded the tanks and made the guys shake hands with everyone in the crowd. Appears the military has setup defensive positions around the main TV station, but no one is really sure where it'll fall. The military might be our best hope for getting a secular government setup.

Also interesting to look for ideological bent in the reporting from Al Jazeera. I certainly prefer their showing actual footage instead of showing talking heads.

I was watching that aljazeera stream this morning, pretty chilling to see people stop mid-riot to pray then get up and start torching buildings and cars.

Just guessing... but by the actions of the Military they are essentially remaining neutral.
They are protecting Embassies, but not enforcing curfew nor are they moving on the capital.

Politically this is a VERY Wise move, If a foreign superpower embassy is taking then that prompts that superpower to move and act. As no Embassies are threatened, no one has cause to step in and intervene. It remains entirely a civil matter.

The United States needs to stay out.

We cannot give people liberty, they have to want it. If enough of the Egyptian people want liberty bad enough they'll get it.

Slightly OT, I heard some muslim on the radio saying that Christians were attacking muslims in Egypt. What a pack of lies. The last report I heard was that muslims were murdering Coptics. Islam can kiss my arse.

they (Egypt) turned off their internet last night.

I Can hear it now, 82,999,393 Egyptians screaming that they couldn't get to theAKForum.net or singlemuslim.com

This video gives me some hope... 0:45.

I hope that is the popular opinion.

I was most interested by Hillary Clinton's comments about how the Egyptian government should tread carefully and try to consider the desires of the protesters/demonstrators. Something tells me that she wouldn't act the same way if people here started doing the same thing. No matter what side they were on.
