Dear Egypt,
What are you doing? First, you totally stole Tunisia's thunder - who by the way started all this. Now nobody even talks about it anymore, haraaaam. You even shadowed protests in Yemen, Jordan and Sudan and that is not cool. You have to learn how to SHARE the attention.
On the other hand, you are doing a little Beirut strategy here, aren't you? I quote (BBC News):
"Organisers say they hope one million will come onto the streets in what is expected to be the biggest show yet.
Some protesters defied the curfew and continued to camp out in Tahrir Square through the night, saying they would stay there until Mr Mubarak's 30-year-long rule ends.
One demonstrator, Tarek Shalabi, told the BBC that groups were camped out in tents or sleeping out in the square, and described the atmosphere as "overwhelming".
"We're here because we want to make a statement. We're not going until Mubarak steps down," he said."
If it translate in Beirut terms:
Organisers say they hope one million will come onto the streets in what is expected to be the biggest show yet.
Some protesters defied the curfew and continued to camp out in Martyr's Square through the night, saying they would stay there until Syria's 15-year-long rule ends.
One demonstrator, The Modern Dictator, told the BBC that groups were camped out in tents or sleeping out in the square, and described the atmosphere as "overwhelming".
"We're here because we want to make a statement. We're not going until Syria steps down," he said.

Well at least I am glad we inspired Egyptians - though I hope they will get more than a million people at this rally. The Beirut rally gathered about a million people in a city of about 1.5 million, so if Cairo wants to Beirut it, they'll have to gather about 8 million people (Cairo population being over 10 mio)...come on Cairo, you can('t) do that!
Also, be careful about the results. Since you've been living in shitty conditions for the past 30 years, it is only natural that you'd want to have the Muslim Brotherhood in power for the next generation as it brings food on your table everyday - it kind of is like the Egyptian Hizbollah.
Remember: these regimes are only good when they are transitory - but like communism in Cuba or Radical Ismalists in Iran, these guys tend to stay for longer than they should and you'll be miserable again in 10 years. And I think it is worth mentioning how having these guys in power will ruin your everyday lives by imposing strict muslim traditions and how it will negatively impact tourism, which represents about 6% of your GDP.
Don't rush into conclusions, learn from Lebanon's mistakes. Look at how Hizbollah is fucking up our lives today.
Egypt, you are welcome for the advice.
