Just last night, Toni and I were noting how Jan. 25 had no particular significance--12 hours later, Jan. 25 has become a "Day of Anger" in Egypt and a "Day of Rage" in Lebanon. "Day of Justice" soon to come insha'Allah.

Egyptians gave the world the quintessential example of brotherhood: Copts protecting Muslims as they prayed; police joining civilians in protest; men, women, children marching and chanting as one. A PEOPLE UNITED CAN NEVER BE DEFEATED. Long live Egypt and the Egyptian people.
