    The Health Ministry and a doctor at an improvised field hospital on the square said at least 26 people have been killed and 1,750 wounded in the latest violence as activists sought to fill the streets for a “second revolution” to force out the generals who have failed to stabilize the country, salvage the economy or bring democracy.

    Very sad. We should always want people to be free everywhere… because if they are happy & free, they will probably make less trouble for the Jews quite frankly! (lol)

    But more importantly… I just want people to take a look at these brave people, and to never be afraid to stand up for what’s right! They had a Pharoah, taking all of their money from them & treating them like slaves for decades!

    And now, the military which once helped them defeat the Pharoah, has now decided they LIKE it in the “top spot” and don’t want to relinquish control over to the people! *hmph* I don’t think so!

    I’m proud that they aren’t giving up! Slowly, slowly, we’re going to work together to destroy the evil in the world! If we don’t do it… it will win. And then when will the Moshiach come?!

    I wish the Egyptian people well & I hope they are successful! (:-D
