'March of a million' demands Mubarak's ouster

There have been many protests in Egypt against their 30 year long president, Hosni Mubarak. On Tuesday, the largest one of these protests took place. BBC claimed there were at least 100,000 people there, while witnesses were estimating about 1 million. It took place in a busy part of Cairo. These protestors say they won't stop their campaign until the president quits. They won't even accept negotiating with him. They want him gone. Egypt will have peace again once he is gone is what most of these protesters are saying, but their actions don't appear to be completely peaceful. Two military surplus stores have been stolen from and two dummies of Mubarak's body have been hung from streetlamps.

All of these actions are quite frightening to me. We don't have much of anything like that going on here. Sure we have protesting, but it's nothing like what's in Egypt. It makes me wonder what their president must have done to have all of these people turn against him. There must have been some corrupt behavior or something. I do think, though, that they shouldn't become a violent group. Stealing weapons and hanging look-alikes of Mubarak are the first steps of something more dangerous. I hope that they don't use the weapons at all. We were talking about this in my Global Studies class and there have already been some protesters and officials killed. I hope this thing, whatever it is, doesn't become much bigger.
