1. To just say they are appalled

would be a kindness.

Egyptian saying picked up on Al Jazeera English earlier today :

"I can scold my son but if you say amen I will curse you". Means keep your nose out from where its not welcome.

4. I've seen hundreds like that this in the last few hours. Imagine how many
I didn't see.

Thank yous for the teargas. For paying the Secret Police thugs. And all the official support from our government. They request our government, especially @BarackObama never utter the word democracy again.

6. A few more views on this foreign policy disaster...
bandidoofoz Pedro fp
YES YES RT @weddady: RT @alihabibi1: #Americans should protest against their under-qualified foreign policy team...

alihabibi1 Ali Habibi
Mr. #Obama: do u think #Mubarak can stop the revolution? NO WAY... u r supporting the wrong guy Mr. the president!

rcalsaverini Rafael Calsaverini
Obama must break this game of half-words. Speak clearly! Assume your position as a world leader and speak clearly!

RT @shadihamid 'transition' does not equal 'mubarak should step down now' - this is where gap is btw obama admin & protesters

ashong Derrick N Ashong
To be clear: Pres Obama needs 2 call 4 #Mubarak 2 step down immediately & cease all mil & econ aid 'til he does.

kelarini Khalid
Just called the DNC to cancel my monthly donation due to Obama's embarrassingly weak response to #Egypt crisis. Please do the same.

Etc, etc, etc.

More here...
