The masses are gathering on wall street. While the streets are looking more like the Arab spring is moving toward the united states fall the consciousness of the population is moving to comparing the Egyptian government to the united states government. Before it would be dismissed offhand that the us democratic system would be comparable to a dictatorship the consequences are very similar. The Egypt government disappointed young graduates in the jobmarket as does the us. The Egypt government shut down Facebook. Ditto us. Both arrested protectors. Both tried to ignore the protests. Both ran public campaigns to minimize protestors demands. Both governments had no answers. Both only had the military option in the end.
