[Webster Green]

I'm listening on Al Jazeera.

Amazing live coverage: http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/

1. She's more or less suggesting

the protesters sit in the road and sing We Will Overcome.

[DURHAM D]

3. Did you actually watch ?

[dipsydoodle]

4. Sufficient and then gave up

Bullshit makes me feel sick.

Seen this : http://wikileaks.ch/Egyptian-Military-Succession-Plans.html

Wanna tell me she's unaware of that ?

[DURHAM D]

5. The son has fled to London.

What's your point?

[dipsydoodle]

6. I don't think that's been confirmed.

aside from which the US as usual is attempting to support its own selfish needs.

[aquart]

9. So what?

Wanna see our military's plans? They'd curl your hair.

And what brilliant thing is it that you believe the United States should do about INTERNAL EGYPTIAN AFFAIRS? Which rebel group do you think we should support? How many people should we get killed to satisfy righteousness?

Saddam was a nasty dictator. We dumped him. HOW MANY IRAQIS ARE DEAD WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN ALIVE IF WE'D LEFT THEM ALONE?

Sign me, Disgusted.

[Enrique]

10. not internal Egyptian affairs

And we're hardly staying out of it. We give Egypt billions in military aid. Without our support, that repressive regime could not survive. We are very involved in this.

[aquart]

7. Better she tell them to die for liberty?

Would that work better?

I get that the protesters are unhappy that the US isn't going Rah Rah Rah for them, but WTF is it we're supposed to be supporting now? No established government cheers a mob. Mubarak's government has NOT fallen yet. He was still able to order the army into Cairo. Possible opposition leaders are under arrest or house arrest.

Would it help the protesters if the US alienated Mubarak right now? Really? What are we supposed to be doing that would suit them?

NOTHING we do now will suit them. This is their business, not ours. THEY have to sort out their leadership problems.

And it would be very nice if most of those protesters are still alive by next year. Because in Iran, they aren't.

[dipsydoodle]

8. Hasta la Victoria Siempre

might aptly describe their current mood.

[tigereye]

2. isn't that incredible- fascinating analysis on the ground
