    Who are "they" Sesh?

    If one considers Facebook and Social Networking foreign then the question arises, "Is this a coup?"

    In today's world one cannot avoid a global discussion.

    There is no leader
    The Egyptian public has gathered around a concept.

    and elections are a quick clip away.

      Egypt's army promises no force against protesters

      By HAMZA HENDAWI and MAGGIE MICHAEL, Associated Press – 1 hr 7 mins ago
      CAIRO – Egypt's military pledged not to fire on protesters in a sign that army support for President Hosni Mubarak may be unraveling on the eve of a major escalation — a push for a million people to take to the streets Tuesday to demand the authoritarian leader's ouster.

        Google launches Twitter workaround for Egypt

        By Alexei Oreskovic – 1 hr 40 mins ago
        SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Google Inc launched a special service to allow people in Egypt to send Twitter messages by dialing a phone number and leaving a voicemail, as Internet access remains cut off in the country amid anti-government protests.
        "Like many people we've been glued to the news unfolding in Egypt and thinking of what we could do to help people on the ground," read a post on Google's official corporate blog on Monday.
        The service, which Google said was developed with engineers from Twitter, allows people to dial a telephone number and leave a voicemail. The voicemail is automatically translated into an audio file message that is sent on Twitter using the identifying tag #egypt, Google said.
        Google said in the blog post, titled "Some weekend work that will (hopefully) enable more Egyptians to be heard," that no Internet connection is needed to use the service.
        It listed three phone numbers for people to call to use the service.
        Internet social networking services like Twitter and Facebook have been important tools of communications for protesters in Egypt who have taken to the streets since last week to demonstrate against the 30-year rule of President Hosni Mubarak.
        Internet service has been suspended around the country and phone text messaging has been disabled.
        A source familiar with the matter said Google, whose corporate motto is "Don't Be Evil," was not taking sides in the crisis in Egypt, but was simply supporting access to information as it has done with other services such as video website YouTube.
        YouTube has been streaming live coverage of Al Jazeera's broadcasts of the events in Egypt.
        Dozens of the so-called speak-to-tweet messages were featured on Twitter on Monday. The messages ranged from a few seconds to several minutes and featured people identifying themselves as Egyptians and describing the situations in various parts of the country.
        "The government is spreading rumors of fear and of burglary and of violence," said one of the messages from an English speaker. "The only incidence of theft and burglary are done by the police themselves."
        Google listed the following numbers for people to use the service: +16504194196 or +390662207294 or +97316199855.

          It will be next to impossible to figure out if the tweets are real or "created". There was the same problem with the so-called tweets from Iran.

            CNN has been broadcasting the phone numbers for people in Egypt to call.

            The Million March has already begun.

            Mubarek must go.

            Yes he has been a staunch ally in the Middle East, and a good go-between for the Arab world and the West.

            But what the fuck has he done for his people lately?

            The bastard has been in power for 30 years! ANY NORMAL DEMOCRACY WILL CHANGE RULERS EVERY FEW YEARS! I mean hey, a popular politician might get re-elected a few times, but eventually they all wear out their welcome. Any leader who is in office more than 10 years is not allowing the people to determine who rules the country.

            Time for him to go. He is 82 anyway. Time to take his bottle of hair dye and go live somewhere else where he can play with his billions.

            I have had CNN on all evening as background noise. Fucking serious shit going on over there.

            The sooner Hosni leaves Egypt, the better.

              After spending a year in the middle east I came up with the same conclusion as Gene Simmons. In an interview it was brought up that Gene was born in Israel and Gene was asked if he visited there often. Gene said he had relatives there and would go over for weddings and funerals but other than that, avoided the place. When asked why Gene said the middle east is the armpit of the world. I agree with Gene. Seeing the history was interesting but I have no desire ever to go back there. It's my least favorite part of the world. It's been unstable my whole life. It was unstable before I was born. It will be unstable after I'm dead. I can remember when everyone got their hopes up over President Saddat. Look what happened. The middle east thing happened.

                After seeing these lifetime senators and congressmen we have, I want term limits on those guys as well. Our president only can serve two terms, it should be the same for the congress.

                  We could use that rule too, we now have a political class of people who never get a proper job just going from college to political advisor to a safe seat somewhere for life.

                  Could be kind of tricky to get them to vote for that change to the law though...

                    My children, here is one lesson ye may learn from what is taking place in Egypt and these other nations....

                    The vile satanic doctrines of PNAC and the Son of Bush, and the wars that resulted from them were never necessary.

                    Yes, most of you already knew that. But even those who were deceived by the "spreading democracy" lie can now see that when the people of those nations want a change, they will demand it.

                    And I say this not as only the Son of God or the Son of Man, but as one who spent His entire life on Earth living in that particular region of the planet, including a few years in Egypt when I was a kid. Obviously some things are different 2000 years later, but not everything.

                      Heh.....all Mubarek did was piss the people off with his speech. Somehow I expected it. Fucking goober needs to announce that he is stepping down, ask for a month or so to move all his belongings to Switzerland, then go there and die.

                      Obama's speech was short and to the point: The Egyptian People have spoken. The time for you to get the fuck out is NOW.

                      Dumbass has had 30 fucking years. Game is over. Please leave by the nearest exit.

                          I should like to say Penis
                          However, I would be advised not to say Penis!

                          I observed today fear.

                          There is no reason to fear your place.

                          Corruption is an issue, not a person.
