I want to remind folks that we here at Free Republic have long reported on the alliance between Western communists and Islamic terrorism. Here's a link to the D.C. Chapter's Flag Guide to Terrorists and Marxist flags and banners displayed at so-called antiwar rallies post-9/11 in 2001/2002. Link here.
The Egyptian governemnt should grab enough protestors to constitute a valid sample size (certainly no more than 1,500) during all the action, just simply a catch-and-release arrest for disturbing the peace, and do a complete background check. Then take all that data of who they are, where they are from, why they are there and who’s paying their bills and they’d have some well-documented concrete evidence as to what percentage of the crowd is indigenous protestor versus outside hired agitator. They may come up with some good data that would support their outside agitator theory and justify a normal wind-down of the demonstration. If that is the case, the data could get released to the world media, delegitimizing the protest. They could then just have some emergency food relief help from U.S., sit down with all local Egyptian leaders to work on transition plan, a little business development talk to boost their economy and give them jobs, along with a graceful Mubarak retirement.
That settles it. 0bama and code pink want Mubarak to go; I KNOW that he must stay.
