Crowds gather in Tahrir Square in Cairo on Feb. 18. Egyptians held a nationwide "Victory March" on Friday to celebrate the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak's 30-year rule one week ago, to protect the revolution and to remind new military rulers of the power of the street. Hundreds of thousands joined the rallies, which are also a memorial to the 365 people who died in the 18-day uprising, with many Egyptians expressing their intention to guard their newly-won prospect of democracy.

    Agreed, you couldn't be more right Allen. I do have a feeling the protest will be coming here soon if things don't start changing in our government. With everything happening over in the ME and our government is tightening up the noose on us Americans while they fatten their pockets, it will get worse and we will have to formalize. Cutting our goverment aids to the things people need most so they don't have to give there riches, it will backfire. Poor dumb basterd sitting pretty in the goverment don't understand what will be waiting for them if they stay this road. People here will give them a good lynching, some old school wild west type @!$%#, hangem so all can see. People are getting fed up with these organized criminal governments. History in the making!!
