Riots in Egypt

Did you know there are riots in Egypt? No? Yeah, well, apparently Google news doesn’t either. A quick search brings no accounts of the disturbances. As usual, you have to seek out bloggers.
It makes you wonder, doesn’t it? The media is overly fond of protesters and riots. Why do they have nothing to say about this?

From Rantings of a Sandmonkey…

..allow yourselves to enjoy those brief moments of joy before the get crushed, as they’re going to. If this spreads, then the regime will spare no expense to squash it, especially with the visible absence of the western media and their coverage. Without international cover, this won;t survive, and the government will fuckin air bomb the demonstrators if they truly became a threat to the regime. The point isn’t the overthrow of the government, not yet. It’s a warning shot, letting them know that they can’t get away with this shit much longer, that the corruption must stop, that political liberties must be respected and that the mismanagement of the economy can not continue. That the people won’t just bend over and take it anymore. That they better change or this might breed the revolution you so rightly fear. But that won;t happen today, or next week, so please, quit your whining, worrying and bitching about the protesters, and start fearing for their lives. Those people have almost nothing and are risking what little they have for a chance for a better life.!(all bold mine) (Source)

Very unlike the pathetic protesters in America, these men and women have actual cause to make demands of their government. Unlike their cowardly imitators in the West, they stand to lose their lives.
