*Spread the word to the protesters* They will be provoked tomorrow.

[Soral]

I, like most of us, were totally shocked Mubarak didn't step down.

I felt the anger and rage of the protesters when I heard too, it's really a bit unreal.

I can only see one way he will be able to portray what he did as the right move, and that is if the protesters turn violent.

And, after today, if they are provoked, it will be bad.

Mubarak lied to the white house, and the protesters don't know that yet. They need to know we are with them, and right now propaganda is telling them otherwise.

They are going to wake up very angry tomorrow, and on edge.

If they think the US has turned on them too, and that Mubarak isn't going to leave... let's just say word is some are expecting a bloody day tomorrow.

I hope them all the best, but... fear for them now.

Signed.

A jew from a far.

1. If they can get 10 million on the streets...there's not a fucking thing that shitbag can do.

2. If the protesters turn violent, so what? No one will respect them less. He refuses to step down.

They will eventually have to step up the pressure on him even more. Likely in the form of either tearing into the palace or in the form of a general strike and blockade, or both. If there is bloodshed he is the only one to blame at this point.

And what is going to do? How could he possibly regain control? By killing, what? Thousands of people? MILLIONS of people? Yeah, I don't think that'll work.

He's done. He's just taking out as many revolutionaries as possible with him as he goes down.

8. If the demonstrators are baited into getting violent like Mubarak tried to do

today the violence will keep many people inside in the weeks to come. Remember what happened in Iran last summer? violence is Mubarak only card at this point.

4. they are already gathering outside the palace

5. I support them and fear for them as well

However, I think the Egyptian people are fully aware that they face the possibility of provocation tomorrow. After all, it is they who suffered violence and imprisonment just a week ago.

6. It's almost sunrise in Cairo

Prayers to the people there.
I hope my fears do not come to pass.

7. As if killing 300 of them wasn't provocation? And they remain peaceful.

Denial is a river of the blood of 300 Egyptians

9. Prayers are with the people and I admire their non-violence strength

These people are incredible. They have really held together.
amazing.

another call tomorrow morning to my Senators to pressure Pentagon not to send anymore money to Mubarak
