Thanks for taking the time to make this thread. I found it very insightful and humbling. I hope the Egyptian people can overcome these tyrants and build the country they long for with as little bloodshed as possible, goodluck.

I know history repeats it self that part of the ancient world usually does and this is not the end yet, no one has yet set up a safe camp for them.

Isaiah 19
A Prophecy Against Egypt

1 A prophecy against Egypt:
See, the LORD rides on a swift cloud
and is coming to Egypt.
The idols of Egypt tremble before him,
and the hearts of the Egyptians melt with fear.

2 “I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian—
brother will fight against brother,
neighbor against neighbor,
city against city,
kingdom against kingdom.
3 The Egyptians will lose heart,
and I will bring their plans to nothing;
they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead,
the mediums and the spiritists.
4 I will hand the Egyptians over
to the power of a cruel master,
and a fierce king will rule over them,”
declares the Lord, the LORD Almighty.

The story is not over yet, we do not know who the next in charge will be, if prophecy is right then they may fall for another leader or system that is even worse than before who is even harder on their people, a revolution yes, but where is it heading?

Someone ran this pic thru Photoshop as well. I am a part time paramedic, and that IS NOT real blood. At best, REAL PAINT. The consistency does not match up one single bit. I feel for everyone in the movement, but don't inflame the situation into something more than what it is.

oops, nothing to see here.

I feel sorry for the people.New government is always the old government!

When the dust is settled. How do you see Egypt?
What kind of leadership? What kind of representation of the people.

Americans elect people to speak for them, at least that's the model.
Yet, in America our speakers are bought by an even higher power, and that is our large corporations.
This is one reason we export weapons to other countries, our politicians allow it. Americans no longer have control of their politicians. WE are a corporatocracy. Plain and simple.
Our methods including arming BOTH sides of a current, or developing conflict. Then send our tax money to both sides. So they can buy the weapons. I call it Corporate welfare.

Back to the question. What does YOUR Egypt look like?
How will the people interface with the Government?

Egyptian here too. Good job with the thread, OP. Was thinking of making one myself but you did it better than I could have. Amazing how many Egyptian youth (me included) were hateful of so many things about our country til the revolution started. Now, as ashamed as I am with the tyrants who run this country, I'm proud to be an Egyptian.

By the way, I've been on ATS for years but there really is no conspiracy about the images. People (including doctors trying to help people) are dying and losing their eyes at El Tahrir Square and a nearby street, even right now as we speak. I know a photoshoped picture here or there can make some ATSers get suspicious (especially from far away since I guess media on other countries wouldn't show much details of what's happening) but people are really dying. More than 1000 people died in the "first part" of the revolution in January and more than 35 dead in the last 4 days so far with countless others losing their eyes. Not trying to big it up being Egyptian but some of the things... the bravery and courage and sacrifice of so many people, you would see if you flew over the Square now makes me shiver and feel ashamed of myself for not taking a bigger part in this revolution even though these people are fighting for everything I've ever believed in.

Even though it all looks so bleak now, I have absolutely no doubt that this revolution will ultimately end up being a huge success for this country, regardless of what many people would like you to believe.
