I’m afraid a blood bath is about to take place in Egypt.
Mubarak and his regime are trying to outdo what Bin Ali has done to preserve the regime, using new faces at the top of the pyramid.
Installing the head of the intelligence apparatus may not be taken well by the Egyptian youths.
Shooting by Egyptian security forces at protesters has just began.So Sad.
