| Egypt army says will use force to clear protesters |
| 2011-04-09 |
| Egypt's ruling military council said on Saturday it would clear protesters from a central Cairo square with "firmness and force" to allow life to return to normal. Because we got rid of the brutal---protester shooting---dictator, see. And now have freedom and democracy. Which makes protesters enemies of freedom and democracy, see. Dissent is no longer the highest form of patriotism in Egypt, either... |

| #6 So, when Mohammed Ali massacred the Mamluks? Yes, that would certainly result in a personnel turnover. Thank you, Procopius2k. |

| #4 From the Persian Empire, through the Roman Empire, someone in the palace gets the idea that the old guys aren't doing as good a job as they could. Not confined to Egypt but it certainly has its own version. |

| #3 It's an old pattern. If you would be so kind as to expand on that, Procopius2k? A world-wide pattern or in Egypt or Dar al Islam? |

| #2 Byzantine [who by the way used to have ownership of the place]. The generals employed the useful idiots to clear the old dead wood in the hierarchy to make room for the next generation of old dead wood. I suspect the promotion rolls had become rather stagnate. It's an old pattern. |
