Peaceful Action in the Mid East

non violent street fighting men

notice that these  actions are  being done by Middle Easterners themselves, people stereotyped to be setting bombs off left and right. 


a lot of that stereotype comes from Americans, the people who usually overwhelmingly support military force upon innocent people like so many that were killed in Iraq. 


but in Egypt for example,  instead of using overwhelming force to push change in their home, they are using peaceful means: communicating, protest, the non violent action of people. not bombs, assassinations, diplomacy with dictators. 


. they do not have to be invaded by a larger more armed power to do it. 


how many innocents were killed to remove Saddam Hussein from power? how much money did it cost, how many Americans were killed, how much damage was done etc? now compare those numbers to the Egyptian removal of Mubarak.
