I wonder if Mubarakis is deliberately refusing to step down in order to provoke riots so he can use it as justification to use force to crack down on the protesters

When I was a kid I was told "We do these things not because they're easy, but because they're hard"
Now all I hear is " I won't do anything unless there's something in it for me"
That would be a logical strategy if he thought he had enough outside support to weather the inevitable chaos that would ensue.
I don't think he does, all his fellow mid-East strongmen must be treading carefully to avoid sparking similar populist uprisings at home and overt support for Mubarik might be the genesis for their own ousters.
It's lonely at the top.

I could see that working. With the proper spices. Maybe some sage.
Maybe flambéed. Kittens for garnish.

A few points:
*Propaganda and demonising one's opponents in a war isn't a new invention, so anything written by either side with regards to the accounts of cannibalism during the crusades should be taken with a a pinch of salt.
*It's not getting any truer just because some scraggly-bearded douchebag fanatics living in the arsehole of the world have picked that up as proof of how evil europeans and or americans today are. In fact, it loses credibility.
*It's completely possible to be descended from europe and not be related to any of the Tafurs or Franks or whatever it was who were supposed to have practiced cannibalism during the crusades. The odds are probably good that most of europe is.
*Pointing towards crimes commited during the dark ages is a really shoddy way of arguing, unless we're arguing about why people did things then. Not to mention that anyone living today, descendant of whoever, probably has more common with people living on the other side of the planet, than anyone living then.
*Arguing without having a grasp of the language puts you at a disadvantage to begin with. When you sound like you've been wrung through babelfish and have come out swearing to boot, you sound like twice the jackass.
*Spouting someone else's propaganda whilst telling people to open their minds is something else than clever.
It probably goes without saying, but you're an idiot.

As for Egypt, what's going on there reminds me a lot of what happened in Tchekoslovakia in 1989.
If they get it right they might well join the modern world properly.
That would mean keeping religion and state properly apart, and not putting any of the boys letting the side down over in the BT section near power, though.
Evil Has a new name, I assume you dont like being summoned to the crimes your nation has/is committing so you probably would not have a big enough heart to see the full video so for my convenience i have also put it into wordsIs it not enough what you've done?
With all the bloodshed you've caused
Yet your greed drives you on
In your brutal race for acquisition
No land is left untouched
Driven by a vile ambition
To have the whole world in your clutch
Every single new addition
To your slave colony
Does nothing to dull your ambition
To leave no nation free
It is indeed a sad condition that you suffer from
This itching desire for a prime position
To have all under your thumb
Not in my name will you fight
Not in my name will you kill
Not in my name will you burn a child
Not in my name will you lie
Not in my name will you invade
Not in my name will you rape
Not in my name will you terrorise
Not in my name will you lie
I warn it's time to take heed
One day you'll find yourself pursued
By every person you've made bleed
You thought they'd been subdued
You were wrong
You were wrong
They've been freed
They've been freed
Against your evil methods of violence and intimidation
Against your hijacking and misinterpretation
Of my peaceful faith and revelation
I shout with billions in this demonstration
Not in my name will you fight
Not in my name will you kill
Not in my name will you burn a child
Not in my name will you lie
Not in my name will you invade
Not in my name will you rape
Not in our name
Will you dare to speak again
Not in our name
For all your life, you are trying to engineer the people's morality/mentality/style of living, its disheartening to see you are only left with the reward of telling people who they are and where they live.

Not everyone who disagrees with you is american, idiot.
I'm guessing America's what that shitty song is meant to be about.
