This morning I heard on NPR that the organizer of the Egyptian protest against Hosni Mubarak are searching protesters entering the city for weaponry - demonstrating a commitment to nonviolent protest. In his regular editorial, Nicholas Kristof urges solidarity with the protesters: "We are all Egyptians!"
My prayers go out for the Egyptian people: that Mubarak will step down; that Mohamed ElBaradei will rise to this occasion and lead the people; that our country will do the right thing and support democracy rather than national interest and security.
Today, I am Egyptian!
