Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah says the Egyptian Revolution will leave an impact on all regional and global developments.
“It has always been said that Egypt is the mother of the world. This is right and you (Egyptians) who are there, you are the great people who can, with your will and solidarity, change the face of the world,” Nasrallah said in a speech on Monday.

It will be a long, winding, treacherous and perhaps bloody road before the popular Egyptian revolution even dreams of approaching the post-Suharto Indonesian model (the largest, most plural democracy in a Muslim-majority country) or the currentTurkish model (also sanctioned at the ballot box).

S3M-07870 Bill Kidd (Glasgow) (Scottish National Party): Support for the Egyptian People— That the Parliament wishes to express its full support for the demonstrations by the Egyptian people by stating its unequivocal belief that all peoples have the right to live in a free and democratic society unshackled by dictatorial oppression and the fear of arrest, detention and torture by a private army disguised as a police force, as it considers is the case of the 30-year rule of Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak, and calls on President Mubarak to halt what it sees as the thuggish behaviour of his supporters and to step aside now, rather than holding off until September, in order to avert further bloodshed of innocent Egyptians and allow a peaceful transition to democracy.

MUMBAI: Do not talk for more than six minutes a day on your cell phone to avoid radiation, IIT-Bombay and telecom sector experts said on Friday. The options are to put the phone on speaker mode and hold it at least a foot away from your body or use a headset. They suggested putting up a wire mesh or water curtains, or growing plants to prevent radiation from cell, TV or FM towers in the vicinity of 500 metres to one km. You can complain to the authorities against the towers.

An amateur video showing the arrest in Egypt of an alleged spy belonging to the Israeli General Staff Reconnaissance Unit, the Sayeret Matkal, indicates how worried Tel Aviv is by the turmoil engulfing the Mubarak regime and suggests that attempts are underway by outside forces to destabilise the popular revolution.

There is quite a lot of hype going around the British left in the wake of the dramatic events in Egypt. That great revolutionary upheaval is being seen as a possible model for Britain where discontent is growing as economic conditions deteriorate and the coalition government, already seen as lacking legitimacy, seeks to impose draconian cuts in a vain attempt to prevent a full-blown sterling crisis and in the process has provoked a student rebellion.

So Pharaoh Mubarak had to prove once again he’s a real superstar of the “war on terror”. Old habits die hard. He’s now unleashing terror against his own people.

The Egyptian events seem, on the face of it, fairly straightforward: a tyrant in office for30 years, propped up by fulsome US support and a very efficient secret policeapparatus, faces a full-scale revolution by his brutalized subjects, who are – finally! – enraged-beyond-endurance and just can’t take it anymore. A million people in the streets of Cairo are telling us this story, and one would think the wise thing to do would be to take their word for it.

From inside the bowels of Washington’s power elite, Frank Wisner emerges, briefcase in hand. He has met the President, but he is not his envoy. He represents the United States, but is not the Ambassador. What is in his briefcase is his experience: it includes his long career as bagman of Empire, and as bucket-boy for Capital. Pulling himself away from the Georgetown cocktail parties and the Langley Power-point briefings, Wisner finds his way to the Heliopolis cocktail parties and to the hushed conferences in Kasr al-Ittihadiya. Mubarak (age 82) greets Wisner (age 72), as these elders confer on the way forward for a country whose majority is under thirty.
