We are in Hell....

Yes, there were far far too many deaths today. And yes, one death is one too many. But I was dreading far far worse. Death toll could have been thousands.

Yes, maybe there was another way to do it. But with “ifs” and “buts”, we’ll still have a King in France, and I would be beautiful, rich and famous.

Baradei made his choice? Even on the Titanic, the Musicians played till the end. You couldn’t stand the heat: Why on EARTH did you get in the kitchen???

And for you outside Egypt. How on EARTH did you think this was going to end? Did you really, really, REALLY believe there was going to be an Hollywood ending, with the Ikhwans shaving their beards and having a beer with Tamarod??? Wake up and smell the teargas and live bullets dear. This is real life. This is a revolution.

For a compromise, both parties have got to be willing. For weeks, months, people were screaming that they wanted to be martyrs, that they were ready, that they wanted, that they were wishing for death. They end up being martyrs. And we all cry. Their family. All Egyptians. All Men of Good Will.

I’ve seen images today that will haunt me for the rest of my life. I hope for the Martyrs they went straight to Heaven. Because right now, a lot of us feel like in Hell.
