will everyone be satisfied with the result of revolt?

will the revolution get hi-jacked?

will the rest of the World support you , if you win?

will the World punish you, economically?

tough when you realize that revolution alone will not solve your problems.

the goal of a revolt is to ease the suffering of the People, without compromising Liberty.

If it devolves into racism, bigotry and violence, anyone who can offer Security can look good to the People.

Hopefully the Egyptian People can achieve Peace w/o settling for a Tyrant...
