Democracy Now! Senior Producer Sharif Abdel Kouddous speaks to Egyptian physician Dr. Ali El Mashad in Cairo’s Tahrir square over the weekend. Dr. Mashad describes being injured in the streets and bleeding from the head. “We are writing history by our blood,” he says. Mashad says he will not stop demonstrating until Mubarak leaves office.

    • With Mubarak leaving, Suleiman apparently taking the seat, the military determined to maintain order, all of this directly under the watchful eye and continued funding of the US government, pretty much has an Arab dictator replaced by a Western dictator. I'm afraid the Egyptian People will see it this way. And the re-writing the Constitution will obviously be orchestrated by the US.

    • Mubarak should leave office sooner rather than later. He is a very determined man. He has amassed absolute power, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. It is very difficult for him to give it up. I trust that he will dig deeper in the core of his heart and let the people go to freedom.

    • I so regret that my country, the 'great democracy' has been so involved in the government structure which has ended in this struggle by such strong and moral people, only to abandon those people. However, let me say that history will prove your great sacrifices to have begun one of the highlights of humanity's social acceptance of the 21st century.

    • I'm so grateful to you, treewolf39, for not only submitting this article, but also the entire show from today.

      I hope that folks don't lose track of this because of the Keith Olbermann hoopla (also inspiring news).

      Freedom, freedom, freedom!

      I am ashamed, our voice is no loud nation rending cry, but rather a quiet and mild peep. Too many are too caught up in all the fun they are having to care about the atrocities our own government is committing.

      what with the Me Generation seeing themselves as a priority, how can they possibly empathize with what Egypt is going through? when was the last time a child received a toy that was hand made and was appreciated? look at how we drive, you can't even get a break on the road before someone nearly kills you because "it's my road".....lol not ours to share, and fair only applies to "Me" not you....lol

      somewhere we lost respect for the simpler things. we got sucked into the ME and MINE and FAIR way of thinkin, we forgot that fair sometimes just doesn't happen and we need to adjust, and Me doesn't always come first, and that satisfaction doesn't happen within 3 minutes like McDonalds, but that a well deserved, well made, home style meal with a nice cold pitcher of ice tea is where it's at, and that "others" are more important that what clothes you wear, and the latest tech item ringing in your pocket, and that the amount of $$$ doesn't translate to happiness, but making due and enjoying life with your friends, family and shutting off your cell phone can actually bring people together

      community is what's happening in Egypt......

    • watching a nation fight for freedom and democracy in this manner is rather surreal, I find myself "stuck" to my iPhone (AlJazeera_english app) for updates and news, and the internet, and my tv. This is nothing like it was for us while we fought for our Independence, but at the same time, it could be in a sense. All I have to say is - LET FREEDOM RING!!!!!
