Well if you are going to threaten protesters live ammo is the way to go.

Israel can’t accuse the Egyptian government of going soft on protecting the Israeli embassy.

RIGHT FROM THE START MILITARY TROJAN HORSE WAITING TO
POUNCE ON THE PEOPLE: MILITARY OWNS ALL BUSINESS NO
MONEY COMING IN: ONLY DEATH GOING OUT: PROTESTERS STOP
THE FLOW OF MONEY TOURISTS, MALLS ETC= MILITARY OWNS
ALL BUSINESS: NO SCHOOL AND KIDS EVERYWHERE!
NOT GOOD FOR PROFITS:
AND PROFITS BEFORE PEOPLE!

Ozark Michael:  I’d love it if you could prove me wrong about the “worldwide English language.”
It has been my long experience as an English teacher both at home and abroad, that (to my sorrow) the language carries prominently within itself the vocabulary and manner of domination.  It’s a subtle point, but both by nature and by historical
“destiny” English tends to dominate video language, film language and the language of the printed word.—and of the Internet, to boot.
  In some places French is more dominant locally, and masses of people speak various dialects of Chinese and the languages of S.E. Asia, but the imperialistic commercial world has carried English over the top and when people want to “talk to each other” it is English that is most commonly called upon to fill the gaps. It is now being even further “degraded” by Facebook, Twitter et al into “IMO” “how r u?” “lol” etc. ad nauseum.
  (It all started with Samuel Morse, and with Shorthand, the lady in the long-sleeved white blouse with tucked inserts who died on the way to the altar.) Latin barely maintains a toehold in the sciences. (Need I remind you that the world buys “cokes” and “Tamohawk” missiles and “Predator drones” and “cluster bombs” even if the buyers can’t afford them.
  Be glad you haven’t lived 97 years, bias or no bias!

gerard, your original comment was very informative and eye-opening. I appreciated it.

There is a truce between the people and the military, but that is being strained by recent events. Not to say its broken, not to say things wont work out.

In my opinion, your analysis was excellent and i quote:

The degree to which the millions of nonviolent protesters will be able to hold authoritarianism in check long enough to form a democratic government is completely up in the air and does not deserve journalistic “coloration” by the use of unexamined cliches.

Your follow up comment didnt help. it showed your bias. well, thats my opinion.

P.S.  My point, in general terms:  The worldwide English language press has been coopted for so long by authoritatian controlers that it is completely unaware of the slanted implications of its vocabulary.

Again the press shows its “imbedded” tendencies toward misrepresentation:  Headline above—“EGYPT
threatens protesters etc…”  Egypt?  Who’s that?

And in the Guardian, again:  “Egyptian authorities ...” 

The present situation in Egypt, is, by most accounts, highly fluid. Later in the Guardian, the writer refers to “defacto” leaders, “Egypt’s military junta” and finally gets to the so-called “battle of the camels” which “provided some of the most memorable images…”“Memorable images”?
That’s what it’s about?  And “defacto leaders” are
EGYPT? Since when?

The degree to which the millions of nonviolent protesters will be able to hold authoritarianism in check long enough to form a democratic government is completely up in the air and does not deserve journalistic “coloration” by the use of unexamined cliches.

If Israel accepted a Palestinian state based on 67 borders, the world would love them
for it,they could lead, instead of falling into a quagmire of dissent ion.

Not long ago the Egyptian government allowed folks to storm the Israeli embassy. Righteous anger and all that…

But now, my Truthdiggers, especially my revolutionary friends… is it a setback for the revolution that the Egyptian provisional(military?) government threatens to use live ammo against folks who storm buildings?

I am not an expert on revolutionary people and what they should or should not do. (well, i have an opinion but i am not a revolutionary type)

My follow-up question: Do you know why the government is doing this right now? (I have a guess of course, and being a cautious conservative my guess is pretty good!) But out of respect for Truthdiggers i will wait for you to guess first.
