Very nice documentary!!! There need a change in Egypt, the government should be ready to accept it.

Take this story, modify a little, change the names of the characters, and apply it to any other Muslim country!

What a pity!

@desidesi21 Why not apply it to any country ? if you continue to watch or read about those countries you'll know

that Dictatorship doesn't happen over night NO ? Don't you see what's happening in America today ?

@BregyptianMuslim It's awesome! The people united, will never be defeated!

@BregyptianMuslim In reply to myself

the police guns murdered at least 300 over the past couple of weeks

and the Army - thank God - has refused to do the same and is trying to limit the police's transgressions

the police almost completely ran away last week

but unfortunately the US is still pretending the dictator is in charge

GAME OVER - the people must win now

God Willing

MUBARAK IS A BULLY AND A PIG.I say stand up to him kick him out now.

I have a solution for those facing economic woes in Egypt. It can be called the

"Suez-Solution." Instead of the canal always being a crisis for the country, other countries, corruption, et. al. An additional fee should be charged to every boat/ship going through; to a committee. Not the govt. That distributes this money to the ppl. Lets see if the world, and the Egyptian govt. really love the Egyptian ppl. like they always claim they do.

peace/salam

the government will never be able to break up a protest of a million people, or even a quarter of a million, as we all saw in almahalla. they simply count on stopping it from ever happening.
