The people of Egypt cleaning up after themselves, scrubbing away graffiti, cleaning the streets and I am proud of them. Can we send our taggers and rioters over their to learn about pride.

I am proud of the whole thing. A nonviolent protest outlasting an old despot. I have a new found respect for the Egyptians. They have reshaped the history of the Middle East, and with Al Jazeera, I suspect people across the region are watching with tears in their eyes. I have a Saudi friend who is nearly dancing in the streets! With all due respect to Bush, Obama, or whomever, their jawboning meant nothing. It was the people who are taking charge. My sincere hope is that they can go from this top of the mountain moment toward the real challenge of creating a sound government for their country.

Amazing how people willingly take care of themselves and their country once they stop pretending to believe that their government will take care of them.

Liberals take note.

What are you talking about this revolt was started by Radicalists/Islamists/Communists/Socialists.

Why is Glenn Beck freaking out over Egypt and a caliphate? - CSMonitor.com

I am glad the Egyptians are cleaning up their own mess. Will they also return the prisoners from the Muslim Brotherhood to jail who were broken out during the rioting?
