Egypt is in the throes of a very interesting time. The initial rumblings of this revolution mapped closely to similar events in Tunisia, where it all began when a street vendor, sick and tired of government intervention is his life - they consistently stole away his ability to provide for himself and his family, set himself on fire to protest. This was followed by another, and eventually, the people rose up in protest to overturn the tyrannical regime there. With luck, they will see freedom and democracy and less tyranny in Tunisia.

The Egyptians riots began in a similar way, the people rose up against a tyrannical regime. The initial impressions from the riots and the rioters was "we want to live in a free country". They wanted, as most do, more freedom, not less. But things don't seem to be going that way.
