Mazars and Deutsche Bank could have ended this nightmare before it started.
They could still get him out of office.
But instead, they want mass death.
Don’t forget that.

This is proof that people are stronger than their governments.


This has to concern every oligarch, president, Member of Parliament, every politician on earth, because if it can happen in Egypt.....



Yes, all the machinations of US, Israel, Saudi Arabia and others have been futile in the face of the courage of the Egyptian people. Whatever happens in the days ahead, things will never be the same in Egypt because of the steadfast and massive efforts of the people.

Fox News' homepage is in hilarious contrast to all other news outlets. Large red type that says "URGENT" using old stock photos of daytime angry-looking protestors.

I decided I would check since I've been fighting about Egypt for days with an American conservative.

Egypt could resurrect "See You in September" for Suleiman.

Edit: nahhh, this one's better. Egyptian gear and all.

Alice, I've been watching this all morning on LinkTV, being my usual cynical self, thinking "well that's the end of Act One, I sure hope this isn't some Obama-esque con job".

But seeing your post, there, above? Wow ......

Brought the sting of tears to my eyes.

I don't even know what to say. We love you, Alice.
