I think it would do a lot more for general support if the OWS spent the money on feeding families for thanksgiving, or buying winter jackets for people who can't afford them...something for the people of NYC who are gonna face a cold hungry winter. Egypt is nice and all, but our problems should come first.

Sounds like a great cross revolutional plan. The Egyptian people are far ahead of us, yet far from done as they are currently trapped in a military dictatorship. They have stepped onto the road. But at least the world must more easily recognize this obvious trap. Of course, watching the IMF/Worldbank/Eurobank/Goldman Sacs folks stuff the Bankster Enforced Austerity Regime down the throats of these helpless Greek and Italian populations while they run off with all the People's Wealth only shows how bad the wordwide situation actually is for all of humanity.

Is several trillion dollars wasted in Iraq and Afghanistan a wise use of money?

Like everything OWS does, you cannot stay on point.

You're talking about using donated money being used for a peaceful reason.

I'm talking about bankrupting an economy for illegal invasions.

Who is doing the wrong thing?

What is so special about these 20 people?

Why? Is there an answer to that question? Egypt is trudging through a very rough transitional period, what could our people possibly learn from them?

Our Occupiers have already learned how to take the first babysteps. The smallest toe is now in the door. Can it now be kicked open? If the U.S. is able to dramatically move towards change, the rest of the world will have to also change since our U.S. Banksters currently make most of the important decisions on Earth as they control our government and military.

Seems like a giant FU to all the freezing OWSers.

Glad OWS is showing us a "better" way .....

I wonder what those in Egypt are going to think of a bunch of spoiled, soft Americans who think that OWS has anything to do with the Egyptian revolution.
