You have got it wrong.Mubarak called for his governemnt interior ministry police to go in plain clothes and that is what is happening.While you all joke there is a bloodbath going on with those who have been there for days fighting for democracy being fire bombed by the government’s interior police.
Lesson: Don’t bring a poster to a knife fight.
There will be shooting in short order, and the best place to be is at home.
“While you all joke there is a bloodbath going on with those who have been there for days fighting for democracy being fire bombed by the government’s interior police.”
Uh, no. I’m not ‘joking” in any way.
So, let me ask you: Did the protesters quietly disperse after POTUS spoke? Why are they still out there after Mubarak announced he wouldn’t seek re-election?
This isn’t meant to exonerate violent actions of pro-Mubarak forces, but to pretend this is a one-sided affair is clueless. You might want to know that the protestors are hurling Molotov cocktails now:

Chris, the only ones “fighting for democracy” in this affair are the useful idiots. They will be the first to be lined up and shot when they accomplish their goal of removing all stabilizing influences from their nation.
And your proof of this is what?
"fighting fordemocracy"
no you have it wrong unless you can prove this and as of yet only the anti Govt rioters have said what you said.
there was violence by the anti Govt before this day.
the anti Govt is backed by the MB.
Do you want MB to move in and make this country another Iran?
Do you support obama on this?
It seems that you reading your bias one way tweets is clouding your view
Seriously hundreds of thousands of protestors, how do they know who is who? What prevents one person from mingling in with the other side, then hurling a cocktail, so that the pro-Mubarek group gets blamed? All those people don’t know one another on sight, right?
They are all mixed in together so each side gets blamed for whatever goes wrong....
Shepard on Fox today kept laying the blame on the pro-Mubareks ...had to turn the channel....
Are they fighting for a "democracy" or a "theocracy"? Actually neither of those choices are very appealing considering the way these people are likely to vote in the future.
Right now this revolution is entirely rudderless. What they are fighting for is what they are getting... ANARCHY.
The American Revolution was somewhat unique in that it was a revolution with a distinct purpose and named leaders at the helm. Those who signed the Declaration of Independence placed their lives on the line to bring about a "more perfect union". Not a perfect union, but a more perfect union.
If the American revolution had started like this, with anarchy in the streets, we would probably all be living under some kind of totalitarian or authoritarian government and longing for the days when we were British subjects.
