Default Egypt

Nobody is talking about this here. I for one want to see what 100 racist interwebz trolls have to say about it.

I've heard that a large section of the Egyptian military have stripped their uniforms and joined the protesters.. Picture worth a thousand words much?

even as a racist internet troll I have to commend these brownies. In my hating the police I have been told many times that you can't easily separate the bad pigs from the good. This is a great example of how extreme circumstances can indeed sort these things out.

With any luck this will end in a reign of terror that leaves all the police who were late to disband underground, and the more loyal ones reinstated.

I hope Zahi Hawass catches a bullet in the midst of this non-sense. It would make it the most important thing Egypt ever did as an Arab nation. That old windbag is constantly stopping real progress in Egyptology, and it shits me to tears. Otherwise, I don't think I can come up with any harsh remarks about the Egyptian people, and I hope they succeed in their goals.

10 more years for Mubarak's prosperous reign of freedom, dignity, and democracy.

Im happy for them, decades of brutal US-supported dictatorships are coming to an end it seems, i hope saudi arabia is next. You can see them shaking in their boots as they call the protesters "Infiltrators"... you know, when youre infiltrating your own country.

Obviously there are more important things going on in the world

Seriously though, some crazy shit going down over there. My aunt works for CNN and is based in Cairo, she's already had two of her cameras broken by Egypt's "police force" and is currently bunkered down in a museum trying to protect it from looters
