Uprising In Egypt

[Hobbes]

After weekend protests of around half a million in Tahrir Square the Egyptian military issues 48hr ultimatum.
The headquarters of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood have been burned and ransacked following an all-night siege – one day after millions protested on Egypt's streets calling for President Mohamed Morsi's resignation.

Some of the protesters have been using green lasers to paint helicopters and I found these images to be striking:

In the spirit of the 4th of July, I say good for them in Uprising.

Apparently the military helicopters have been dropping Egyptian flags on the protesters in a show of support.

I just have to LOL at these people. For corn's sake, THEY voted the guy in there full knowing his background and affiliations. On top of that they expect a huge amount of change over night.

Who cares, they'll be doing this again soon anyway. Doesn't matter who's in charge these people will never get their act together. They don't know what they want. They never will.

I know there's some pundits out there patting themselves on the back for warning against Morsi being elected. Like its any if our business anyway.

From those pics, are they sure that's a protest? Looks like a rave party.

Well kinda....in that case, it SHOULD be our business. It's the only major election and leadership change in the world that should be our business.
