British Prime Minister David Cameron, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel issued a joint statement on Saturday calling on Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to avoid using violence against protesters and launch political reforms in the country.

"We call on President Mubarak to avoid at all costs the use of violence against unarmed civilians, and on the demonstrators to exercise their rights peacefully," the statement, issued in German, said.

"We recognize the moderating role President Mubarak has played over many years in the Middle East. We now urge him to show the same moderation in addressing the current situation in Egypt," it said.

The three leaders called on Mubarak to "begin a transformation process that should be reflected in a broadly-based government, as well as free and fair elections."

4. Mubark?

Did they have American teabaggers write their signs for them?;-)

[dipsydoodle]

5. Maybe allow for the fact

they wouldn't normally write using our alphabet - they'd use Arabic.

In English is for our benefit.

8. They know that Mubarak can't avoid violence and institute real reform. If he hangs around for that,

he'll end up hanging at the end of a rope. Telling him to "avoid using violence against protesters and launch political reforms in the country" is the same as telling him that he has to leave if he wants his head to stay attached to the rest of his body.

If we really want him to face justice, we should encourage all powers to tell him "to avoid using violence against protesters and launch political reforms in the country" rather than taking his money and running to Saudi Arabia like Ben Ali.

11. Fuck them all

They knew what was going on in that country, and they allowed it.

Egyptians have had it with that bastard.

[malaise]

12. Ding Ding we have a winner

They supported this shit and financed it as well.

[pampango]

14. I am sure they know what's going on in North Korea and Syria, too. What should

they do about those so that we don't say the same thing about them when those regimes crumble?
