protesting

So basically what has happened in Tunisia is that during a protest to make the police chief step down from his position two people were killed and 17 others were injured after police fired into the crowd. In Egypt the military has just made Mr. Mubarak step down from power by using 18 nationwide anti-government protests. All of the articles are dealing with protest that have either worked or turned out ugly.
I think that these articles are good because they are showing us what is going on over there. it is showing us how hard the government is willing to push to keep themselves in power. The bad part of all this is that the protesters are now in danger because of all of the fighting and the aggression shown by the police.
