Egypt: Concerned about violence, U.S. calls for "restraint of all sides".

[Luminous Animal]

What fucking bullshit. Pro-democracy protesters have suffered 33 dead and 1500 injured at the hands of the military using, in some cases, weapons supplied by the U.S.. So, what the U.S. is calling for is for pro-democracy activists to go home so the military will stop its murderous rampage.

1. The US should be calling for "restraint" in our own country

Considering what happened at UC Davis, we don't have much moral authority to be preaching to ANYONE about how to handle protests. I hope someone gets the police under control here before someone gets killed. They've already come close a few times.

The State Department spokesperson refused to name the party responsible for violence in #tahrir, #Egypt.

Or maybe White House stmt meant: "revolutionaries, plz don't get killed by our pet military junta during our pre-election season" #Tahrir

US init response to #SCAF crackdown on #Tahrir late, rote & shameful; not even a hint of a threat to cut off mil aid to help curb atrocities
