btw: is it possible that the army might take over? that would throw the whole thing back to where it started

Apparently the army and the protesters are on the same page (which is kind of scary, actually - militaries aren't known for endorsing progressive politics.) The army and the police are battling, according to some reports... which is also not a good sign. Often a prelude to open civil war, historically.

No I'm not surprised, it just doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy.
Despite what you may think, not all Americans want to spread fear and pain across the planet.

Yes.

Because it's made in the USA doesn't mean it's a product of the US government.

I would have expected them to be sourced locally, but if quality > quantity, and they can source better products from the US then so be it.

Pretty much each time a revolution has happened it's when the military decide to side with the people. It pretty much makes or breaks a revolution.

Highlights :

Ruling party headquarters burnt to the ground
Parliament is on fire
President and the rich inhabitants of Egypt fleeing on private jets
President will not be president by the end of the night

Also simply put, revolutions are civil war.

hmmmm....
wouldn't say so as the ruling elite doesn't count to the term ''civil''
