Also worth noting many Muslim Brotherhood activists were arrested last night. Mubarak's response has been extremely provocative.

Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

Hope the Egyptians see that dependency. Obama/Mubarak poor responses are further provoking the angry citizens. When Mubarak stated he would be replacing everyone but himself, the crowd shouted "Down with Hosni Mubarak!" The military is not under Mubarak's control. He is toast.
We have ABC News (I know, I know) often on in the background while we do the dishes. One of the things they were saying is that Egyptians are picking up the used/discarded tear gas cannisters... and reading how they say "MADE IN THE U.S.A." on them. Yep, I think they get the dependency.
