Egypt

The whole.. fighting violence with violence for rights and shit. Ughh... I guess that's the natural reaction, but people should really follow the teachings of Ghandi. I think that's way more powerful and effective, and will not only have more support but can make a bigger difference. Just all around a +EV move, I guess it's harder to execute though.

I agree with the gist of your post, Gandhi is the man <3

however, who do you think drew the line in the sand and said no more protests?
Egypt's government forbids more protests

watch

Gandhi taught a very important lesson to oppressive governments.

Next time, kill the spiritual leader.

What's the worst that could happen? Christianity?

I agree that gandi like revolution movements are the best for these types of things, but surely violent protest is better than nothing when it comes to fighting a dictatorship.
