What the shit man?!

The following is an except from an msnbc article today.  It reads like a fucking fantasy novel or a post apocalyptic hell.  People riding around on camels throwing molotov cocktails and whipping people?  What the shit?!  That's insanity!  For fuck's sake stop it let eh people chose their own future.  Fuck off Mubarak and retire to the French Riviera or something.  And hey, Obama!  I know you need to tread lightly and Egypt is an ally and we've given them a shitload of money and blah blah...  Buck up pal and support the human right of self determination that is the foundation of America and for which we as a nation so boldly proclaim when it is easy and shamefully shrink from when it's difficult to say.  Rabble-B

CAIRO — Thousands of supporters and opponents of President Hosni Mubarak battled in Cairo's main square Wednesday, raining stones, bottles and firebombs on each other as Egypt's unrest abruptly turned violent. At least three people were killed and more than 600 injured.

In what appeared to be an orchestrated attack, some government backers, wielding whips, charged into Tahrir Square on horses and camels; others threw petrol bombs from rooftops.
The anti-government protesters accused Mubarak's regime of unleashing a force of paid thugs and plainclothes police to crush their nine-day-old movement demanding Mubarak's immediate ouster after a nearly three-decade reign.
