Watching Thugs With Razors and Clubs at Tahrir Sq.

From one of my heroes, Nicholas D. Kristof:

Here's my column -- about watching thugs with clubs and razors at Tahrir, but
also being awed by two women defying them. If those two sisters can
stand up to Mubarak's gangsters, then why can't Western governments?
Why can't we all? Read the column, spread the word, and post your
...thoughts. http://nyti.ms/hwzM0Q

Watching Thugs With Razors and Clubs at Tahrir Sq.

 

President Obama owes the democracy protesters being attacked in Egypt – and our own history and values – a much more forceful statement deploring the recent crackdown.
