by As usual, I’m totally uninformed and I have to play catch-up to understand what’s happening. This op-ed in the Independent was a good starter piece. Coupled with these pages from a leaflet the protestors are distributing. Okay, reading more … I support this uprising. I hope it doesn’t get more bloody. What’s going to happen today??
Update: Reuters is saying 74 dead.

“This is not an Islamic uprising – though it could become one”
