The NYTimes has published a set of photos from Tahrir Sq. I hope we can all take solace in their struggle and realize that as we have to deal with pepper spray, they have to deal with bullets. We should never take for granted the freedom we have to express ourselves in this country as compared to what others around the world have to fight for in order to achieve the same level of freedom of expression....
Maybe they get bullets because they are burning vehicles, throwing molotov cocktails, rocks, and other items. Funny that the OWS are so supportive of the Arab Spring and particularly the one in Egypt since this is an Islamic movement in every country so far, to force out freedom of religion and bring Islamist states into being. Guess it goes along with the anti Israeli sentiment that goes along in the 'tolerant enlightened' OWS crowd. None of these protests will lead to more freedom, they are leading to religious intolerance. Why is OWS promoting that? Parts of Libya are already flying the al-qaeda flag over places like courthouses. I think the OWS needs to pull their heads out of their asses if they think that the Arab Spring has anything to do with being fair or equal.
