I just saw the anti-Mubarak protesters building walls on the streets to keep back the pro-Mubarak people throwing rocks at them.
Neither the military nor the police is stepping in between the sides. Using bullets seems out of the question.
The protesters will have to defend themselves. They ultimately seem to have far greater numbers, and are building defensible perimeters.
However, they have no access to ambulances, which will be necessary for many of the injuries caused by the violence. And they are surrounded.
Regardless of what the military demands, however, the protesters seem committed to staying.
Is there anything you think the US can do to help? (see previous post for some thoughts from myself and others)

we need to mind our manners and our own borders. we need to stop wasting billions of dollars on wars/fights that are not our own. we aer not the worlds police. does God step in every time you are about to do something stupid? no. you gotta get burned from time to time to learn from your mistakes and blaze your own trail...

Thanks for commenting. I just hate to think that people are literally being burned by molotov cocktails and there is nothing we can do to help. But maybe you're right, maybe there is nothing the US can, or should, do right now. I wish I had a better idea of what to do.
