An excerpt from a interesting bit from a blog regarding the protests in Egypt.
AlJazeera, CNN, BBC, and many more have flooded our TV screens showing us the passionate youth of Egypt struggling in the streets for democracy. Quotations, videos, photographs and narratives have moved people all around the world. Millions of Egyptians, it was claimed by AlJazeera, took to the streets on the "Day of Departure." BBC's Jon Leyne said it seemed as if "all of Egypt" had come to Tahrir Square. It was a glorious time to be alive for many, almost like living amongst the pages of a Hollywood script.

Ahmadinejad says Egypt, Tunisia were inspired by Iran's anti-Western protests

TEHRAN - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Friday urged Egyptians to continue their protests, to "free" themselves and choose their own leaders and their own form of government, a day after Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak again refused to step down.
Speaking during a massive rally to celebrate the 32nd anniversary of the Islamic revolution, Ahmadinejad said that the uprisings in the Arab world are inspired by Iran's struggle against Western powers.
The protests, he said, herald the emergence of a new Middle East where, despite "satanic" Western designs, the United States and Israel would not be able to interfere. "Gather up Israel in the same way as you imposed it on the region," Ahmadinejad advised the United States and Europe.
Government representatives and soldiers handed out Egyptian flags to teenage schoolgirls who sang Iran's praise, calling it the "cradle of Islamic belief and love." Honoring Iran's resistance against world powers, one demonstrator held up a placard with a portrait of the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the words "We will stand till the end."
The crisis that is roiling a regional ally of the United States dominated the celebration. Ahmadinejad said that a revered 9th-century Shiite saint, the 12th imam Mahdi, is managing the uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia.
"This is a global revolution, managed by the imam of the ages" Ahmadinejad, who is very religious, told large crowds gathered on and around Tehran's central Azadi square.
He predicted the formation of a world government, ruled by Imam Mahdi. "Hearts and beliefs are swiftly leaning towards forming a global governance and the necessity of the rule of the 'Perfect Human' linked to the heavens."
....Friday's state-backed rally comes as two opposition leaders, former presidential challengers Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, have asked for permission to stage a protest on Monday in solidarity with the people of Egypt and Tunisia.
Although Iran saw months of unrest after Ahmadinejad claimed victory in a disputed election in June 2009, recent months have been quiet....

'Beware friendly US,' Ahmadinejad warns Egyptians
By Mohammad Davari (AFP) – 6 hours ago
TEHRAN — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Friday that a new Middle East is being carved out that will be free of the United States and Israel, as he backed the revolts rocking the Arab world.
Massive crowds of Iranians, waving flags and chanting: "Death to (Egyptian President Hosni) Mubarak!" and: "Death to America!" descended on Tehran's Azadi (Freedom) Square to listen to the hardliner, who lashed out at the West and Israel in a speech marking the 32nd anniversary of the Islamic revolution.
"We will soon see a new Middle East materialising without America and the Zionist regime and there will be no room for world arrogance (the West) in it," Ahmadinejad told the cheering crowds, who gathered despite the cold and cloudy weather.
In a speech directed in good part at the Arab uprisings, Ahmadinejad said Egyptians needed to be vigilant of the United States.
"They (the United States) have adopted a friendly face and say 'we are friends of the people of North Africa and Arab countries', but be watchful and united. You will be victorious ... but your path of resistance is a lengthy one," he said.
"The Iranian nation is your friend and it is your right to freely choose your path. The Iranian nation backs this right of yours."
....The United States accused Iran of "hypocrisy" over the jamming and its own suppression of protests.
"The recent arrests and effort to block international media outlets underscores the hypocrisy of the Iranian leadership," National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said.
"For all of its empty talk about Egypt, the government of Iran should allow the Iranian people the same universal right to peacefully assemble, demonstrate and communicate in Tehran that the people are exercising in Cairo," Vietor said.
The director of the BBC World Service, Peter Horrocks, said: "This jamming should stop immediately....
