Dunno when this was. I just remember the shouting between him and Charlie - nothing personal, mind you, just ideas - about this sort of thing. Charlie grew up the #5 among six - all sisters. His cultural treatment of family was somewhat different than Mo's. Gawd I miss those guy, and Mo's cooking.

I, for one, stand with my Egyptian sisters. We in the west have a lot to learn from them but I daresay we won't. We won't learn a damn thing.

aljazeera wrote:The Egyptian army has said it would not use force against citizens staging protests to force President Hosni Mubarak to step down In a statement on Monday it said "freedom of expression" was guaranteed to all citizens using peaceful means. It was the first such explicit confirmation by the army that it would not fire at demonstrators who have taken to the streets of Egypt and comes a day before before Tuesday's "march of millions" to mark the seventh day of the protests as anti-government sentiment reaches fever pitch. "The presence of the army in the streets is for your sake and to ensure your safety and wellbeing. The armed forces will not resort to use of force against our great people," the army statement said. "Your armed forces, who are aware of the legitimacy of your demands and are keen to assume their responsibility in protecting the nation and the citizens, affirms that freedom of expression through peaceful means is guaranteed to everybody." It urged people not to resort to acts of sabotage that violate security and destroy public and private property. It warned that it would not allow outlaws to loot, attack and "terrorise citizens". We live in interesting times.

An interesting post quoting an Economist journalist - I'll have to cut'n'paste it as it's embedded in the rather good rolling coverage in The Grauniad. 5.45pm GMT:CloseLink to this update: The Economist's Cairo correspondent says he believes Mubarak's days are numbered, and has some telling details: I knew it was truly over when I came home to find a neighbour in a panic. He had smelled a fire nearby. We traced its source soon enough, after climbing to the roof of my building. Smoke drifted from the garden of the villa next door, where workers had recently been digging a peculiarly deep hole, as if for a swimming pool. In a far corner of the garden stood rows of cardboard boxes spilling over with freshly shredded paper, and next to them a smouldering fire. More intriguingly, a group of ordinary looking young men sat on the lawn, next to the hole. More boxes surrounded them, and from these the men extracted, one by one, what looked like cassette tapes and compact discs. After carefully smashing each of these with hammers, they tossed them into the pit. Down at its bottom another man shovelled wet cement onto the broken bits of plastic. More boxes kept appearing, and their labours continued all afternoon. The villa, surrounded by high walls, is always silent. Cars, mostly unobtrusive Fiats and Ladas, slip in and out of its automatic security gates at odd hours, and fluorescent light peeps through shuttered windows late in the night. This happens to be an unmarked branch office of one of the Mubarak regime's top security agencies. It seems that someone had given the order to destroy their records. Whatever secrets were on those tapes and in those papers are now gone forever.
The piece concludes: "Perhaps I am still wrong, and it is not completely over. Maybe another battle will be needed, soon, before falls for good."

As massive protests rocked neighbouring Egypt, the Sunday edition of a popular Hebrew-language daily announced the arrival of "the New Middle East". While most Israelis are not ready to make such bold claims, they are keeping a close eye on Egypt, watching with a mixture of excitement, admiration, uncertainty and fear.
It is widely understood here that a change of guard in Egypt could bring about a seismic shift in regional politics - and some worry that this might upend the uneasy peace between Israel and Egypt, never mind the treaty that the two signed in 1979 - so it is unsurprising that few Israelis are indifferent.
