So democracy comes to the middle east, the various arab states get elected governments, who will do what the people want. What do the people want? A war with Israel!! Israel nuke everyone, in 500 years the glass coast becomes a top holiday destination.

Absolute bollocks.

The situation in Lebanon has absolutely nothing to do with Egypt or Tunisia. Its been a democracy for many years. The government fell a couple of weeks ago, just like other governments in other nations like Italy for example fell: because a proportion of the governemtn resigned their posts.

I only meant the change in the gov't which happened right after the tunisian revolution and right before the egyption one. Finally and after many years, what was called the opposition is now in power. The former govts didn't care about its people as much as it cared about Hariri Tribunal.

And I'm interested to know how Israel has the power to make every Arab country a tyranny.

I didn't say that Israel is making every every arab country a tyranny. What i meant is the support that some of these govrnments get from Israel and the west just to make Israel's life easier. Now if Mubarak got overthrown.... Muslim Brotherhood are likely to take hhis place. Do you think they will recognize Israel and the peace treaties they made with Israel in the past? I don't want the muslim brotherhood to be in ppower or obvious reasons but Israel won't be happy with having another extremist party close to its borders...

Two people have died in Cairo, the Associated Press news agency is reporting, as violence continues tonight, where night has fallen. AP says:

Security officials say one protester and one policeman have been killed in an anti-government protest in central Cairo, bringing to six the number of people killed in two days of demonstrations against President Hosni Mubarak's regime.

The policeman and the protester were killed by rocks thrown by both sides in a clash in a poor neighborhood in the center of the capital.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release information to journalists.

A YouTube video out of Egypt with shades of Tiananmen Square is getting some buzz today, notes the Telegraph. It shows a protester in Cairo standing up to an approaching water cannon and forcing it to stop, at least temporarily.

Not a chance, the common soldier might want to but the special forces, and there are plenty of them, will react with severe brutality. but the people themselves are strong enough if a decent leadership comes forward. Forget the established ones they are all after their own positions.

Stop this Muslim brotherhood nonsense, this is about people want to have their own destiny, you do know that this is a middle class revolution, this MB excuse is brought by the government in order to take the green light from the US to shoot protesters down and that's what is happening right now.

MB won't take control of Egypt if anything happens, those who started the demo want a transitional period with a transitional government, and a transitional president for three years (ElBaradei or Amr Moussa) with new laws and new Parliament to take the ship and then a new presidential elections in 2013 and new government representing all sections of people after that.

Police lost control in Suez & Northern Sinai, they are now sending thugs and criminals to shoot and beat demonstrators, but they won't stop us, Jan 26th, the day we took our freedom back.

Egypt has seen itself move towards a more religious mindset, I wouldn't say they were more religious but young people are definitely more conscious and the hijab has made a comeback in the past few years. Not to mention concern about social affairs and issues that have seen ordinary people take matters into their own hands. This has been done under various Islamic organisations and Muslim Brotherhood has a presence at that level.

This isn't a 'middle class' revolution, it's a popular one. Every class of society hates that fucker Mubarak aside from a few blerts and everyone is out, eventually the police will turn and that's it.

I don't know how true that is, really. My hope is that they don't have credibility with the Egyptian street but I'm far from being an expert. The Egyptian population on the whole is less educated than say the Tunisians but I've never been entirely convinced that education is an over-riding factor for measuring the likelihood of extremism in a country (Saudi Arabia, anyone?).

What might be more à propos is the fact that, like in Iran now, the resistance is mostly carried out by young adults who represent over 50% of the population. Let's hope they get properly organized and take the country in the right direction.

This is a middle class revolution, it is still not an all sections of people revolution yet aside from Suez, if it happens and the poor join then the regime won't be in control.

Again this has nothing to do with any political party like the Brotherhood, this is way played out by the western media and the government to make it appear as this a brotherhood revolution, all people concerned in Egypt want a government and a parliament that represents all sections of people, people saw that having power in one party won't be the way going forward.

There is a lot of other parties that have a lot of credibility with the people, ElBaradei and the National Unity for change is one of them, El Ghad (Tommorrow in Arabic) which is led by Ayman Nour is another, Al Wafd is one of them as well.

The case of the brotherhood having more seats than any other opposing parties in the parliament is because they had more numbers in the elections than anyone of them.

No I am not a coptic, my name is Omar and my middle name is Mohamed, Do I want the brotherhood taking full control in the country? no. Do I want them to be represented in the parliament and the government? yes, not only them but every political direction should be represented in the parliament and the government.Having the power in one entity is wrong and will lead us to a situation like the one we are in right now.

Out of curiosity, how do you understand Arabic? Did you live in an Arabic state before or are you of Arabic origins?
