I had to chime in for a moment to say how profoundly proud and moved I am by the brave, noble, and peaceful efforts of our brothers and sisters in Egypt. You have shown the world what is possible when good people unite in a just cause. You have many challenging days ahead, but already you, the people of Tunisia, and a fruit vendor who set himself on fire, have changed the world at [near] light speed.
While our [the US] government may not have always made the right choices in the past, you can be sure that the American people stand with you. The free people of the world stand with you. Today, we are all Egyptians.
We have the other thread to discuss the politics of the situation, but it seemed appropriate to take special note of today's historic events.

Robert F. Kennedy (1925 - 1968)Each time a person stands up for an ideal,
or acts to improve the lot of others...
he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope,
and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring,
those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.
