So much for revolution!
In Cairo, friday prayers escalated into millions of people protesting, demanding that Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi steps down. He's currently Egypt's de facto new ruler.
Reminds me of the Mexican revolution. Mexicans overthrown dictator Porfirio Díaz almost after a year of nation-wide conflict. The man who started the revolution - Francisco I. Madero, took over. However he was slow to satisfy the various demands of the Mexican people and was soon ousted from power via coup d'état. Roughly 8 to 10 years of civil war followed, going as far as dragging the United States and even Germany into it.
There's not much of a difference in Egypt's case; the egyptians are running out of patience as a result of the slow pace the military junta is taking to satisfy their demands, and are becoming disappointed, saying that "they want to reclaim their revolution."
But no one will pay any attention, or will they?

I didn't intend to write millions. Typing mistake. I meant to say thousands. Sorry. Roblox needs an edit option. |

| The death of Gaddafi will cause quite a big power vacuum. |

The same will happen in Libya. __ HUR HUR
And there will be hold elections on september.
They are (the egyptians) making political parties and the tahrir square is place where people show their ideologies, political parties, make speeches etc...
This will be resolved.

| Because, it's hard to help the development of an individual when he thinks he deserves every little thing he wants. |

Yep.
It's hard to satisfy someone when they think that everything is oppression. Like the US. Living here isn't as bad as people make it out to be. If you went to Somalia and complained about living in the US, you could get killed for it. |

| Having an opinion is one thing. Yelling it out like you are coked up in front of a government building is another thing. Look how long England lasted under Monarchy. A long time. And Ancient Greece. Long time. And Japan, a very similar system. A LONG TIME. The US, 240 years, and it's starting to fail. See the problem? |

Supporting the UN, calling Half Life 2 the best video game of all time, and freaking out about Halo is a hipster thing to do.
Just sayin'. |

restricts the development of the individual? ___ Coming from the collectivist?
All I'm going to say is, I saw this coming. ___ No, Glenn Beck did, and you channeled it to WWC. |

Revolution 2.0 or 3.0 really in Egypt.
Also Thorae my dad saw it coming to, grant it not as early as Beck, but he knew it well from the start when it said that the military is going to run things. |
