In the beginning, this guy fiddles with his nose a lot.

Not bad in many ways, but who is this guy kidding when he tries to portray Tahrir Square as a victory for the Egyptian people?  That's just total bullshit - - the Army still runs the country and the old guard is still in control.  Egypt needs a REAL revolution,  with the Old Guard's heads on pikes and the enemies of the people on the run.

You are big into payback, aren't you

How is a violent repressive mob any better than a violent oppressive regime?

Egypt needs the military government to cease running the country. Egypt needs a bona fide democracy. Violent revolutions have rarely been as successful as less than violent ones. There was no violent overthrow of the dictatorships in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay or even Paraguay.
