Are the Egyptians up to serious business or is this just street theater? Al Jazeera seems to be beating the sox off the US media in reporting the street action (still going on at 4 am there, late evening of Jan 21 here), and is running some fascinating comments from people who seem to be able to evaluate the action as few of us Americans can from our seats by the TV sets. A question arose as to the action in both Tunisia and Egypt, are these real revolutions or not? One American expert said he couldn't say yet, but keep in mind that Muslim states don't mostly have popular revolutions, ever. This explosion in Tunisia and Egypt is indeed something new. Hang on to your seats. Another young American Muslim said notice how the Americans don't want any blood but don't offer anything much but words to prevent it.
