Could we please get some intelligent comments about social justice etc instead of the comments from the people who enjoy seeing insurrections throughout the world and want it also here in the US ?

I'm mainly speaking of the gleeful people who didn't give a darn about Egypt two weeks ago or find it on a map even now.

Where are the women protesters? I"m not trying to insinuate anything, just genuinely ignorant and curious.

They are out during the day but tend to stay home at night as it is the most dangerous time for them to be out. A facebook user has compiled photographs to show that women are indeed participating in the protests: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150117175166228#!/album.php?aid=268523&id=586357675&fbid=493689677675

Do people really click on the princess cruise ad when they're watching riots and cars on fire - all caused by the lack of jobs, political alienation, and people in anguish?

Yes, all of these videos were posted on RawStory.com yesterday.

The IMF and the World Bank have been forcing Mubarak and the Egyptians to PRIVATIZE their country to the richest world's investor class for at least 15 YEARS.

THIS IS THE REUSLT OF PRIVATIZATION. PRIVATIZATION IS WHAT THE GOP AND BARACK OBAMA ARE DOING HERE IN THE USA.

Mubarak will leave BUT the privatization of Egypt's wealth will not change unless the revolution is entirely successful at throwing off the "investor class"!!!!!!

Oppressed people will all reach a breaking point.
I can only admire their courage and hope something
good will come of this.
With corporate ownership and the support of a corrupted
Supreme Court, we can expect communication blackouts as
well.

"Are our leaders better than Egypt's? Across the globe, government­s know that the Internet is increasing­ly the lifebl00d of democracy -- that's why Egypt's oppressive regime just shut down the Internet there.

But even as American politician­s condemn Egypt for doing so, they're pushing legislatio­n to give our government the power to do the exact same thing here at home! The so-called 'K1ll Switch' would let the president turn off our Internet -- without a court even having to approve the decision."

Hey, HuffPo! Is there any way us viewers can control the speed of the 'scrolling' of these visuals you post at the top? I'd like to peruse them more thoroughly than the speed that is apparently automatic. What gives? If I want to watch a movie, I'll go watch a movie!

I reminds us of L.A. in the late 1960's and again during the acquittal of the peace officers with Rodney King. Just blowing off some steam. Tearing their own neighborhoods up. Not really much to see as a well placed assault by authorities could cripple them...

I don't think you understand what's going on.

you have american white guy blinders on.

The US is on the wrong side again, support of a tyrant versus the people of this country.

The Suez canal is a major conduit for oil from the middle east. The US and Europe will see energy prices rise due to true "supply and demand reasons" with the manipulation factor pushing the price out the roof.

The world will soon find out how repressive the Mubarak regime has been with US bought and paid for support, and we will find out again why we are hated by another part of the Arab world.

[dihnekis]

Yep. This is what our elected government supports time and time again, repressive regimes to aid our economic interests. Civil rights should trump the wallets of our rich, but that has never been the case.

We never seem to learn this lesson.

[Yenzer]

This guy is a relic from the cold war. But your right, we seem to always trade our ethics for security even if it means propping up a guy like Mubarak. it's been that way my whole life. I have been ashamed of my country many times for this single rason.

[TMcKeon]

I'm not going to compare their bravery with ours. I only want to say that their fearlessness and willingness to die for their country humbles me. Power to the people.

[Yenzer]

AMEN!

Americans in general rarely ever get motivated to get involved like the people overseas do, it's depressing.

[whyhowwhat]

Weird how Obama is preaching to Mubarak about free speech being a human right, Why didn't he question Hu Jintao about free speech?

China owns us, Egypt doesn't.

[archerlane]

06:23 PM on 01/29/2011

It all dependss on who is bought and paid for. Egypt is bought and paid for by the US, the US is bought and paid for by China.

Mubarak is reshuffling his inner circle and claiming new change and new government. He's completely oblivious to his people. If there will be no true change soon, this country will fall into the hands of the fanatics and the lunatics.

the american youth of today would never organize and protest like the youth in egypt. this coddled, its about me, spoiled rotten, poorly educated, fatherless, generation only worry's about the latest device, and some reality show. if they took away fake boobs, then maybe it might get bad....

[Shan Wells]

You're wrong. We protested the Iraq war in number. If there had been a draft, it would have been huge.

[salty07]

05:09 PM on 01/29/2011

Yeah, well too bad for you, we didn't need you!

[whyhowwhat]

05:35 PM on 01/29/2011

We see how well that huge protest worked.

You are suffering from a severe case of old fogeyism.

[Chief Sniffles]

I watched an interview of a woman in the Middle of a rally of hundreds of people who was asked "Aren't you all afraid to die when the police is unleashed on you?" And her response, "None of us are afraid to die anymore that's why we are ALL here, we would rather die then have Mubarak as ruler any longer... I can't believe this is happening... I always wanted it... everyone always wanted this but I just can't believe it's FINALLY happening."

Wow. Sending Mad amounts of Love & Peace to a nation that has true Courage.

[wmholt]

Sounds like they are a brave people. Contrast that to the Americans who are willing to forgo essential elements of civil rights and freedom in exchange for having the government "protect" us from whatever boogeyman is the flavor this month.

[E3grnMaRine]

I may be mad but I have faith in the American people, especially the youth. I have seen and listened to many of the 20 something crowed talk and they are really aware of more than most think. That and when American's are pushed into action there is no stopping them. The kids of today are more diverse than before;the kids of today have grown up in a culture where there are more people of other cultures than before. And, kids today see the corruption, lopsided wealth, inequalities, and are very concerned about the country and the world. They see the world as a part of the larger earth community. I believe in the kids of today. The world has changed a lot since the 60's and 70's and these kids are sick of the outdated notion that old white men know best and are in charge. They don't want the "Leave it to Beaver" or "Father Knows Best" lie.

[Purcy]

04:24 PM on 01/29/2011

They are brave and I hope they have someone in mind to take Mubarak's place so there isn't prolonged chaos and looting, etc.

[salty07]

05:11 PM on 01/29/2011

Doesn't look like it. The Army may have to form a transitional government of some sort. Problem is that those tend to go from temporary to permanent. Usually because there is noone that they can trust to hand over power to.
