3. Time for the US to, without qualification or nuance, tell Mubarak to go.

[dipsydoodle]

5. I thought we'd settled for

Fuck Off.

[Statistical]

9. +1. It is OVER. The US needs to be on the right side of history.

We need to tell him to go AND we need to let the Egyptians know so it isn't a secret he can keep under wraps.

Can you imagine the roar of the crowd is someone played for the crowd a translated speech by Obama asking Mubarack to respect the will of the people?

If we back the crony dictator then we lose the hearts and minds of yet ANOTHER generation.

[tekisui]

13. I don't think Mubarak will go UNTIL Obama or Clinton make that statement.

#
1238: The BBC's Kevin Connolly in Cairo reports: "Among the best signs, one that says simply: 'People shouldn't be afraid of their government, governments should be afraid of their peoples'."

That's where the line comes from: "People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."

24. Up to 2million protesters have flooded into central Cairo turning Tahrir Sq into a sea of humanity

Up to two million protesters have flooded into central Cairo, turning Tahrir Square in the Egyptian capital, into a sea of humanity in a massive show of protest against Hosni Mubarak, the country's president for three decades.

Packed shoulder to shoulder in and around the famed Tahrir Square, the mass of people on Tuesday held aloft posters denouncing the president, and chanted slogans "Go Mubarak Go" and "Leave! Leave! Leave!"


Similar massive demonstrations calling on Mubarak to step down are also being witnessed across other cities, including Sinai, Alexandria, Suez, Mansoura, Damnhour, Arish, Tanta, el-Mahalla and el-Kubra.

Tens of thousands were reportedly marching in Alexandria while the number of those protesting in Sinai was estimated to be around 250,000.

28. the government tried desparately to tamp it down

shutting down train service to Cairo, shutting down various means of communication over the weekend, playing up stories of violence and destruction on state TV and so on, but nothing worked.

A word of support to the people of Egypt: The whole world is watching!

A word of warning to Mubarak: The whole world is watching!

29. One guy said on AJE last night they wouldn't reach 1 million...

I am so excited for them possibly doubling their goal.
