It could be one of the contributing factors why rounds were fired.

So really relevant.


Oh please. The Army were sitting there in armoured cars. How many casualties did they suffer...They also used live rounds before tear gas.

Having read alot of the reports I'm well aware what happened.

You pick a side and never change your mind, you can't see anything from any other point of view.

Oh please indeed.

What did you expect them to do, sit in fooking deckchairs reading the newspaper? Egyptian demonstrations, whether political or even soccer, do have some previous

Just wondering if you want to engage in the actual discussion.

I expect them to show restraint and not gun down people in the street.

The frustrating issue is that all the bloodshed was unnecessary. If the army hadn't waded in and removed an elected politician, who it has become apparent from the sheer number of demonstrators was actually popular with large numbers, all this could have been avoided. As it is, Egypt will probably become another Syria.

Mein Gott! Almost a straight answer to a question.

Now build on that - there are plenty of outstanding ones you've been ignoring of late.

They did show restraint, they warned the protesters not to advance a number of times.

They could and should have handled it better but you know nothing of what was going through some of the soldiers minds.
