Rule #1 for Revolutions: If You Aim at the King, Don't Miss....

I also ask the security services that they take care and find out the people who did this, and find those who did the bad things and protect the good people. This is my promise to the people in my coming few months, I hope that god gives me the strength.

Betcha the "security services" won't find that the looters were actually goons hired by Mubarak.

3. I just replied about this in another thread
Someone was saying well, they can go home now (the demonstrators) and I pointed out the Emergency law and swift imprisonment/death were in the future for a lot of the demonstrators if they don't continue this. They know this as well as I do and I'm not there.

6. Yes, it's now or never
Either Mubarek goes now, or he stays a long while and things will be very bad.

7. The problem with a leaderless revolution: Who determines what a "win" is?
Edited on Tue Feb-01-11 05:40 PM by Junkdrawer
Who assumes power IF Mubarek were to "step down"?
