Such an interesting and amazing story. It will be exciting to study, research and learn about how Mubarak was ousted by a protracted protest, to understand more clearly how each of these components worked together to open the path toward the opportunity Egyptians now have to create their society. As far as happening in America though, the idea for a killswitch is the BIG news so to speak, but more invasive and worrisome for our civil liberties on a daily basis is the advent of the military division of CyberCom which will no doubt be instructed to monitor all the social media Websites, blogs and other activist web pages. Additionally, while it is one thing for politicians to support a en mass protest demanding the overthrow of a leader in a country that is not their own, here, it cannot be expected. In September of 2009 the G20 was hosted in Pittsburgh, PA, activist groups were spied on and their protest permits delayed through the courts and then denied. The National Guard was present and the city imported thousands of extra police officers. Once one crossed the bridges you entered a militarized zone where civil liberties ceased to exist; helicopters circled overhead, blacked-out SUVs roamed the streets and gunboats waited in the river. A small group of protesters marched from a park a mile from downtown toward the center and were attacked with military sound cannons and teargas after only a couple blocks. At night, after 9 the security forces all but instituted a curfew and fired on the gathered crowd chanting "Let's go Pitt" and "Beer Pong" with rubber bullets and teargas. No, for all the calls for restraint abroad, it is easier to wash the faces of citizens at home in sulfer. So then, how can we learn and be inspired by Egyptians? Who or what is our Mubarak? How can we reshape these revolutions to fit our place?
