[QUOTE=Beafman;27711320]They continue with tear gas around them. Tough shit![/QUOTE] One of them threw it back. He's a hardass. [editline]28th January 2011[/editline] Hillary Clinton needs to shut the fuck up.

Al Jazeera has unconfirmed reports that the Army is attacking the National Police, CNN is stating the Army has joined the Revolution

molotovs and anti tank rockets confirmed by french ARTE news here. It's a more liberal and left winged sation than anything else I can see here.

[QUOTE=Broseph_;27712126]Al Jazeera has unconfirmed reports that the Army is attacking the National Police, CNN is stating the Army has joined the Revolution[/QUOTE] If that's true, it's all over. Long live free Egypt!

[QUOTE=ThePutty;27712277]If that's true, it's all over. Long live free Egypt![/QUOTE] ruled by an Army dictator possibly..

[QUOTE=Sporkfire;27712320]ruled by an Army dictator possibly..[/QUOTE] Of course, the dictator will probably initiate democratic rule, at least in the form most Western nations have it (oligarchy).

The amount of backpedaling being done is amazing. It's clear that the people running the AlJ stream are getting a little sick of her, they keep cutting her off mid-sentence. :v:

Will the military take over? Or will the people really get democracy?

I'm pretty split on this, it'll turn for better or worse politically.

[QUOTE=Sporkfire;27712529]I'm pretty split on this, it'll turn for better or worse politically.[/QUOTE] Better.

[QUOTE=Carbon Knight;27711306]the way these protesters have to throw rocks and molotov cocktails further enforces our right to bear arms in America. never give up your guns! give up your ammo first- one at a time[/QUOTE] He's got a point.

[QUOTE=Starpluck;27712543]Better.[/QUOTE] What makes you so sure? Isn't there a possibility an Army dictator could just step in?

[QUOTE=Sporkfire;27712586]What makes you so sure? Isn't there a possibility an Army dictator could just step in?[/QUOTE] Possibly, but would you really want to? People are going against the military now, why shouldn't they do it again? Unless you go "China-style"

[QUOTE=Sporkfire;27712586]What makes you so sure? Isn't there a possibility an Army dictator could just step in?[/QUOTE] As opposed to the dictator supported by foreign interests? It will definitely be better for the people of Egypt.

Not that I'm saying these protests are going to end with one being seated, I'm just not being completely optimistic about it, because thats a possibility. The current regime isn't very good, but at least the US has some control over it and to keep it in check. It could be a lot worse. But who knows it could turn into a complete and free democracy or just another Islamic shithole.

The president before Mubarak gained power via the military as well, so the only real force for regime change in Egypt tends to be the army, so it's not necessary a bad thing, just the only thing that succeeds.

Looks like the majority of it is cooling a little down. Wonder how the Eqypt will look tomorrow.

[QUOTE=Ruskie;27711003]This might just be the start of a massive change of the middle east.[/QUOTE] Honestly, no it won't. These is about as much hope of that that there is for most of afrika.

[QUOTE=Bluesummers;27716088]Honestly, no it won't. These is about as much hope of that that there is for most of afrika.[/QUOTE] Three days ago they said that a demonstration/ Tunesian revolution would not be possible in Eqypt. Nothing is certain at the moment.
