As I said earlier, is it another colour revolution?
What's Uncle's position in all this?
Just asking....
My take is that PUBLICLY the USG is playing both sides...but PRIVATELY, Egypt is only second to Israel in military and intel support.....so.....
The color is the color of sand.......it is not named yet, but I vote for the 'Sand Revolution [having been in Cairo during a sandstorm...an amazing and life-changing event].....
It seems we will have to wait a few more days to know. My gut feeling [only based on what little info we get with communications downed by the Egyptian Govt. is that while the Egyptian Govt. and their surrogate, the USG are trying and no doubt to some extent controlling things and have agents provocateurs everywhere, that this is a legit, bottom-up revolution....sadly, as we both know so many that started that way, were co-opted by the forces of evil and repression not long after.....
