If this truly is the youth movement at work and they are hell bent on getting those kinds of changes, then I not only support them but cheer them on.
Of course I'm skeptical, but I'm also hopeful. Any activity like this, particularly in the ME, after all the previous decades of basically a lot of FAIL in the peace department as well as the standard of living department, can only be a good thing. (Here's hoping anyhow)

If the Jews stopped stealing land that used to be owned by Muslims and the West stops supporting Israel a change might happen. Maybe teaching Jews that Muslims deserve the rights to keep their land might have an effect as well.
Or do you think they will suddenly roll over and smile while Jews steal their land?
2 sides to a debate.
The only change in Egypt so far is a change at the very top, the regime is still in power. Whether an election changes that is yet to be seen. Iran has elections.
