Translation : Security forces and army تسحل demonstrators "liberation"
The info section had this to say:

The security forces and the army lynched and hit a number of demonstrators ومتظاهرات liberation, as well as during the sit-in

Thousands of Egyptian protesters have re-occupied Tahrir Square in the capital, Cairo, after a violent attempt by troops and police to evict them.
At least 13 people have died this weekend, reports say.

Earlier, demonstrators fled as security forces fired tear gas and beat them with truncheons, but they returned less than an hour later, chanting slogans against Egypt's military rulers.

The European Union said it condemned the violence "in the strongest terms". There were also clashes in other cities including Alexandria, Suez and Aswan.

A total of 11 people were reportedly killed on Sunday and two on Saturday, according to medical sources. Health officials say as many as 900 have been injured, including at least 40 security personnel.

The demonstrators, some wearing gas masks, say they fear Egypt's military rulers are trying to retain their grip on power. The violence comes a week before the country's first parliamentary elections since President Hosni Mubarak was overthrown in February

3. It can't happen in the US?

On July 28,1933 U.S. Attorney General William D. Mitchell ordered the veterans removed from all government property. Washington police met with resistance, shots were fired and two veterans were wounded and later died. President Herbert Hoover then ordered the army to clear the veterans' campsite. Army Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur commanded the infantry and cavalry supported by six tanks. The Bonus Army marchers with their wives and children were driven out, and their shelters and belongings burned.

Wiki.....

I think China did something Similar in 1989 in Tienanmen Square with tanks, best estimates several hundred to thousands of their own citizens were killed by their own government. There was widespread international condemnation of the government's use of force against the protesters.
But no physical action as you would expect...

We have to start killing many more of our protesters before China looks upon the U.S. with respect again...

4. Well, Michelle Bachman said that

America needs to be more like China.

Wow, how could her handlers (if she has any left, she IS a Congresswoman!) allow her to make such a gaffe? Beyond any doubt, that proves how incompetent she is.
