This is a request for help to get the popular will to be expressed. Not for an imperialist take-over. Perhaps you can help by saying out of it ... like completely - and not prop up other imperialist regimes for 30 years. Heaven help these people as they are requesting help from those who were part of the problem to start with. How long has the misnomer of a 'peace process' now lasted? Perhaps that is the next thing that we should protest against and give this 'peace process' its real name. Sorry for the rant. Btw, I don't live here .. I'm here for business. This is not the original Anon Coward from Mexico. It is only another one. |

Duh! What do you expect people to do? Stop the revolution to fight against the Muslim Brotherhood? The majority of the protesters have already made clear that they do not want religious fundamentalism to lead their revolution. Havent you noticed that from all the footage we have seen? |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1252230 Mexico02/01/2011 09:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's weird how easily people are manipulated. There are millions in revolt in Egypt,,, yet they concentrate their fears on Iranian and western TV interviews with leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood. They arent leading this thing on the street, they are following events as much as anyone else. So relax! Jeez! |

I'm seeing all kinds of mixed messages out of Egypt. Hear is my personal problems and Islamic Egypt will cause me (Yes this post is all about Me Me Me) I really love Egyptian History, and if an Islamic Government takes hold there I am in danger of being hung just by breathing Muslim Air! See here is the thing you haven't figured out is I'm a Post Op Transsexual therefore they are compelled to kill me! OK I lied this isn't all about me it is about the amazing historical sites and artifacts in Egypt! I keep remember the Taliban blowing up two wonderful Buddhas because it was an offence to Allah. With a moderate Muslim Government it's just me that can't go but with an extreme Muslim the world loses part of it's history. How Can You Be Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere at all |
