In Egypt, "...we see once again what the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. described as the “powerful moral force” of nonviolence in achieving social and political change..." Article by Jim White at Firedoglake, with interesting comments following.
I was heartened that speeches in Tahrir Square expressed Muslim unity with Christians. I was a little less heartened when I reviewed the history of the Jews in Egypt. Basically, none left to include. But who knows, maybe, overall, it could happen, something good, Egypt a democracy, Israel maybe someday not a theocracy, maybe it's OK to find it all heartening for once, after all.
