It's Now Up To Us. Our Grass Roots to Egypt's.
High level diplomacy may slow the progression of events in Egypt and beyond, but such contacts will never reach the ground.The people in the streets don't want to hear from the ruling classes, they want to hear from there peers on there level of the social structure.

The leading liberal and (if common ground can be found), libertarian blog communities should post joint statements of support for the popular uprising in Egypt. Such statements, delivered via front pages, should surprise and entice media and conjure some public push-back to authenticate our independence.

I think that El Barraddi could be a darling to us. The way he pushed back against the Bush Administration.

1. I've got a Tunisian facebook friend
He thanked me for my support of the democratic aspirations of the Arab peoples, and he hoped he could welcome me soon to a free and democratic Tunisia. :)
