It will take some time, by word of mouth, as much of electronic communication is down, but my feeling is that when they hear that El Baradei was arrested, there will REALLY be some BIG demonstrations. He is a possible Presidential candidate and famous and respected outside of Egypt. It is only a matter of time now...but my bet is the USA will back the wrong side. While the police are important, the military is more problematic....as they get HUGE amounts of $$$ and training from their Uncle Sammy, who took over after the Nazi's helped after the War.
