See it live...Egypt remembers | When you mouse over the picture/name, there are some brief biographical details, including how they died.

Reminds me of this...

Perhaps, at some point, Tahrir Squre will be known as Egypt's Lexington Green.

Quote from the monument:

"The blood of these Martyrs, in the cause of God and their Country, was the cement of the union of these states...

They rose as one man to revenge their bretheren, and at the point of the sword to assert and defend their Native Rights...

They nobly dared to be free."
 
10.03pm GMT: "There are only two options: death or freedom. And we shall have freedom, Inshallah," says a young male protester in Tahrir Square tells CNN, with many vowing a huge turnout tomorrow.

What will you do now? asks the CNN journalist. "I am ready to die," says the man. "Give me liberty or give me death," says another, in an echo of the American revolutionaries.

The Egyptian people rock. I hope they persevere. I have personally seen the Egyptian dead......

Oh wait, those dead were Egyptian mummies at a museum. Never mind.
 
The USA once again has blood on their hands. We funded many of these killings. "They hate our freedoms"
