The two million number may be inflated. No official estimates are available. Still, several hundreds of thousands no doubt.

Mixed emotions for my daughter, who is excited to see change, but will likely see her trip to see the pyramids in March cancelled.
landmark, the English al Jazeera site is a good one; thanks for reminding me. John

Do you think the reporters ara searching for a tank to go have a stand off w/ a guy in traditional garb?
John, exactly why is your daughter excited to 'see change'? Is it for changes sake? If the Muslim Brotherhood takes over and establishes an Islamic state and thus the further and greater oppression of the people cool because it is change? It isn't as if this 'exciting' change is happening inside one of the more stable nations in a constantly unstable region...oh wait Egypt was an ally of the US, maybe that is the 'change' exciting some. Tell her to go on her trip, just put those giant maple leaves on luggage, makes her less likely to be the first one targeted. Besides, if the right exciting group takes over those representations of idolitry could be removed....now THAT would be exciting change! |

I'm certainly not one for encouraging religion, when the Islamic courts rose to prominence in Somalia, it was much less oppression than under the previous government.
In other words, might not be great, but it could be an improvement.

And no, I doubt that any number of maple leaves will make the trip safe enough. John

Is it a quarter million, or is it two million. There is an 8 to 1 ratio it those two eye witness accounts.

Wasn't 2 million the name of the rally, rather than a head count?

I saw it called the ‘Million Man March’ in some English language newspapers.

They hope to get a million. So we have a vote from Glenn that Egypt goes the route of Somalia. I never imagined I would ever find anyone who believed Somalia was the shining symbol of hope...not even Somalians like it that much.

You know, kind of like why we said we went to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan? Try and suppress this movement and you can be assured that the reactionary fundamentalists will take power as they did in Iran.

In some countries dictators have shown to be the only way to keep the population from killing each other....again please refer to us as the United States you rude anarchist. I see Somalia gets called by name rather than North East Africa.

The United States and you may add of America, note the caps. Please stop being offensive to my country, we call Canada Canada do not slight us by not even using the correct name or caps while you sit and whine about us. You call us america as an insult you thieving, weeping, wanna be American little pud. As I have said before, worry about your country and after you eliminate govt there you can tell the rest of us aboot it.

Lol, wow, Santa, you realize you are talking about a non existent fictitious entity? Show me this "united states." Point it out to me, somewhere besides drawings on a map.
I recognize the individual, and I will respect the individual. A group that puts themselves above individuals, by giving themselves the name "government," deserves no respect from me, no matter what "country" the claim to represent. If you persist in calling me a thief, in what ever form, then I will not have a problem bringing a slander case against you. No guarantee I will, as you are hardly worth my time, but it is a reality. Considering the only "witness" to the foundation of any such claims against me has ripped such claims to shreds, well, is there really much else to say?

Well, since I'm convinced that there is something wrong w/ you mentally then your belief is no more valid that someone who rants about UFOs coming to capture humans. You won't bring case because your own friend will have untuck and tell the truth and you would have to volunteerly follow laws and regulations rather than be forced to do so. Maggot. You don't recognize governments? Do you use medical that is provided by the govt of your nation? Do you drive (or take the small yellow bus) provided by them? Do you enjoy the protection that the police provide? It seems you want to have a sippy cup full of milk but refuse to accept the contribution of the cow... now go mumble in the corner about how oppressed you are and how daddy represents the 'man'.
