In peaceful demonstrations and word.

Shot and killed -- well they were doing that yes there are foreigners coming in who are.

Foreign fighters who could be al-Qaeda and -- the longer this thing lasts the more likely that is.

But fundamentally we are just people who are sick and tired of this brutal dictatorship and I have met some of the leaders of both military and civilian and there are people who are just like you and me and yeah yeah.

Which is worse.

No I don't think Egypt where for one thing Republican -- is going to have an election in July 7 that Indonesians had an election and elected.
