Egyptian antiques, Chatou, France.
Whether or not you're intrigued by Egyptian politics, I think you will be touched by this heart-felt video interview with Waseem Wagdi filmed during protests at the Egyptian Embassy in London.
Peaceful protesters were chanting anti-Mubarak slogans today at the Egyptian Embassy in Paris. And in the Paris Metro, someone pasted a white piece of paper with the words "Egyptian Revolution!" over a Cairo travel poster.
Thanks for sharing this very touching YouTube, such emotion. It gives me a much better feel for the Egyptian people and the people of the Middle East.

Hello dear,
We are all Egyptians today. May they find peace, resolution and democracy without further bloodshed. May they find the way to survive and prosper and may tolerance and respect grow when their differences may warrant resolution in a future where democracy will trump anything else that may be at stake.

Having lived in Iran prior to the 1979 revolution, I am watching this unfold with hope and fascination.

Thanks for this link to a very moving interview, and for all the interesting links you gave in your previous post. One can only pray that Mubarak will bow out before violence escalates, and that Egypt will be allowed to choose its own form of governance without western interference, with the likes of El-Baradei providing wisdom and guidance in a similar way to Mandela during South Africa's peaceful transition to democracy.
