Egypt Violence - Part Two - Graphic Images


Mail on Sunday: Reports that two people have been killed and hundreds hurt in a second day of violent protest in Egypt. The flashpoint for the violence is Tahrir Square, the centre of the revolution that bought down Hosni Mubarak, it can be argued up to a point that its in the interest of the West, to be specific, the Obama Administration for the Army to be heavy handed, a Islamic Republic of Egypt that tears up the peace agreement with Israel would be disaster for the Middle East, Israel and the Obama Oval. Lets be clear this blog is not against peaceful protest as long as its not Wall Street or St Paul’s Cathedral, that is different, in this case the good people have the right to peaceful protest, the operational word is peaceful, any use of violence and you can see why the security forces would have to take action, sometimes folks there is a thin line between democracy and anarchy. The Egyptian protesters were never going to get a full democracy, the Army and the Egyptian elites had no plans to give up their privileges, now its down to who is the last man standing, the Army or the protesters.
