Finally, something interesting.

Stuff is happening in Egypt. Via Publius Pundit.

Something interesting:

A large force of riot police surrounded the protest and dispersed the men, beating some with electric prods and batons. Ten men were detained, police officials said. The men dispersed, but at least 200 women remained, screaming “We want our children” and “The Jews were better than you” — referring to the Israeli occupation of the Sinai Peninsula after the 1967 war.

Egypt is the most modern, westernized country of the Middle East. President Hosni Mubarak (for almost 20 years running) has recently decided to allow opponents to run in the Presidential elections. It's no much, but it's something. Hopefully there will be more protests like this, and more meaningful reforms.
