can someone tell me in short, whats going on in egypt right now?

in short it's a revolution ....the president and the national democrats ruling party (which is not national or democratic) have been in power for 30 years backed by the u.s.a -the egyption president and his ruling party looked after the interests of america and israel and not the interests of egypt while imposing economic and social reform that not only didnt work put made things much worse for the egyption people . . .the people had enough.

People need to understand that this will be the streets of America one day. Egypt is for us like the previews at the movie theater. We are the superpower and when we fall we will be the main event for the rest of the world. We can stop it, but only if people wake up, learn to sacrifice, and truly change themselves for the better.
