Nicolas Kristoff, writing from Cairo last week during the government thug crackdown, wrote that it's 1776 in Tahrir Square. The piece I'm pointing you at is by Thomas Friedman, who is one of the Times' lifers — he lives and breathes foreign affairs, especially the Mideast. He describes himself sometimes as a disappointed realist; other people sometimes call him a bitter American chauvanist-slash-cynical bastard.
Go read what this bitter American cynical bastard has to say about Egyptians in Cairo.
Really.
