Egypt : The First Non-Violent Revolution Succeeds!
 

Congrats to the Winners !

Bravo to the egyptian people.
Got to give them credit.They stuck to their beliefs for over 2 weeks without turning it into a bloodbath.
They changed the course of the country by standing as one.

This will change the world like nobody has ever seen.

For Good or for Bad ..History has been made today.

Non-violent is a relative term, I guess.

I'm sure the revolution succeeded because of the threat of violence.

not the first you half-wit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_revolution

but great news nonetheless.

? India? Canada? etc...

they've been "non-violently" protesting for 30+ years now.

That was a "Twitter revolution" :Oh crap ...

I wouldnt call it non violent taken blood shed was loss to get were to this point. Never the less the less the voice of the people can be mightier then violence it's self. 4000 or so years living under dictators wars from history only too have this. Good for them they deserve it.

?
 

How do you mean non violent? There are many people killed.

You cant knock these poeple one bit.

"we the people" x infinity.

whatever happens now is anyones guess..what shocking ,amazing and what brings a smile to my face is ..

THEY FUCKING DID IT !
HA !

They spoke up for themselves ..got beaten and gassed and still came back and didnt give up for weeks until they got what they wanted.

Hopefully it plays out well now.

still works peacefl people power.........

Yes some demonstrators got killed..and their stories will come out in the days ahead as im sure they will be known as heroes.

So far i havent heard of any soldiers or police getting shot or killed?

The majority of all the demostrators were peacefull and did there best to keep it that way.They all did a great job..stood there ground and removed a 30 year dicator from his position without using force.


Mubarak was in too long to just walk away .He wanted to protect his "legacy"..his ego wouldnt let him just resign..so he gave everyone the finger last nite and snuck out the backdoor with a few SUV's filled with cash and let some other poor bastars stand up there and resing for him.

Basically he " Mallick'd Out"

What if the military doesn't agree?


.

the military is in control. i'm sure they booted him out.

i'd love to be the guy that got to tell him to step off.

powertrippinnnnnnnnnnnnn

non violent like in a few hundred people died from old age while protesting?

about 30 minutes before the staetment came out that he was resigned the tanks turned the turrets of there guns away from crowds ..and the crowd went wild...without the military what power does any leader have?

He had no power once he told the military to take extreme measure to make the protestors stop and they didnt follow orders.

I think egypt will go in the right direction ..theres no reason to belive they wont.

We here in the USA have become so wrapped up in terrorism we forget sometimes..people are people..not everyone wants to die let alone die for some religion.The middle east is going to change.We live im a much different world than we did 20 years ago.Hiding the truth from the people is very hard to do.

yes it seemed the military actually backed it populace.

not to mention most of the high ranking military went to school in the usa

hmmm, I think it is a little early to decide if it was a success or not.

it's a wait and see thing I think, have to see if the new government will live up to promises

amazing http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/

actually, there are many reasons to believe they won't go in the right direction.

power to the people and all that but fact is the people haven't really claimed anything that they want other than mubarek out and free elections, sure a few other agenda items but those are the biggies this whole thing is riding on. that's a recipe for trouble.

just wondering
 

I am just wondering what will happen now to those cop bastards that were killing people and kidnapping them during protests.

who cares what direction they go in? it's up to them to decide.

the world power balance has changed. people don't give a fuck about the US and israel much any more.

if you can't share in the joy of a dictator being toppled you have lost your commonality with humanity.

It's not the first non violent revolution.

In fact, it wasn't really non violent at all. I saw them throwing molotov cocktails at each other. If they had guns they would have been shooting too.

In the meantime, no one gives a fucking shit about what's going on in neighboring Sudan. It's just fucking amazing how we pay so much attention to one country but ignore the rest of the world.

Those were thugs hired by Mubaraks regime...the same thugs that took WAle Ghonim the google exec.

The revolusionist were non-violent wich is what makes it a non-violent reovlution. They held there ground and protested in a peacelfull but stern mannor.There is more violence the night the LA lakers won the Finals than the protestors in egypt had in 2 weeks !

It's not over....

WE shouldnt have to give a fuck !...
That the whole points of what happening in Egypt. Did we send troops? did we bomb them? did we roll in and take over because the egpytian people needed our help ....LIKE .....Iraq?

Proof if the majority of the people want change they got to put there own ass on the line to do so...just like we did with our revolution :2 cents:

My moneys on Egypt having democratic elections and stablizing there country....just like the US had a tough road..so will they..bottom line they did it on their own.

The average Egyptian sure is going to be pissed off in a few months, once they realize their revolution didn't change their day-to-day lives in the slightest.

Nonviolent, you must have been looking at the sesamestreet edition of cnn. Retard.

:thumbsup

Exactly, and in few years they will ask for him to come back.

Since you are mentally challenged i will explain in detail for you :)

The REVOLUSTIONIST who took part in the REVOLUTION were non-violent

The REVOLUTION was a Success = Non Violent Revoultion.

Still mad i owned you jack shit? :1orglaugh

DEA is the world's most obnoxious troll.

it is questionable eh, technically, there was violence.

well, while being happy for the ppl i have some slightly bad feeling about whats to come there ... from what i read/hear the protestors had massive support from the "muslim brotherhood" which had been illegal under moo-barack so ... my prediction for the first "free election" is --- 24% (+?!) for the fundemantelists :( remember, in the past the brotherhood targted to make egypt like iran ... THAT surely aint what we in the western world call "a stable and reliable partner" when it comes to human rights etc ... so, lets hope the best for the brave :)

btw, the fall of the german democratic republic was non-violent ;) not a single casualty ...

again with the US propoganda blinders..These people are not religious fanatics..they are regular people just like me and you..they want the same rights we have..the same ooportunity..the same freedoms..all of wich mubaraks regime did not give them in the last 30 years.Give them the benefit of the doubt and let democracy take its course.Saying they will all rally behind the moslem extremist is somewhat of an uninformed opinoin considering the Moslem brotherhood has mainly kept quiet during this whole situation and didnt even show up for the demonstrations in the first few days
people are tired of fighting for bullshit..they want food..buisnesses,homes..cars..ipods..ps3s.facebook ,,twitter...porn. Times have changed in the last 20 years.. not everyone wants to throw a bomb on their back and blow themselves up in the name of allah:2 cents:

It will be very interesting to see how this vacuum is filled and the aftermath that follows

Non-violent??! 232 protesters in Cairo were killed, 52 in Alexandria and 13 in Suez also over 2000 injured.

Did you guys know Egypt is in Africa?

I heard Google is going to acquire Egypt.

There are some that think this revolution could be the beginning of WW3 or at least a very major conflict in the middle east.

It is all in Egypt's hands now. If they replace this dictator with a radicalized government, it could embolden those radicals across the region to do the same in their country. This would threaten Israel and could cause all kinds of chaos.

Of course, if they bring in a reasonable government that is more moderate, it could have just the opposite effect and those more moderate factions across the region may be encourage to seek the same for themselves.The problem is figuring out who is who and who holds the real loyalty of the people.

History was made? Have you heard of "Velvet Revolution" in Czechoslovakia in 1989?

a.) this isn't done yet

b.) it can only be called nonviolent because it did "End", had it not, it most certainly would have become violent with more time.

is not over yet .
