Realities of Life on the Streets (Cario, Egypt)

We watch these events unfolding before our eyes.  As if we are participating.  I remember the start of Desert Storm and the TV images.  It becomes an expectation that we become embedded, and understand all the nuances and what the issues really are.  I think that is an unrealistic expectation.  The intensity of the activities currently going on in Egypt would be numbing in the broad view, but rather severe on street level.  Listen to the emotion in these protesters.  At the present time (1000am MST), Egypt's central square is receiving Elbaradei and his message of the people need government representation.  Alexandria protesters still roaming after the curfew - asking for the prosecution of Mubarak.
