What's the Issue with Egypt?

Alright, so lately in class we have been discussing Egypt's Economy/Tumult issue. Basically, the uproar in Egypt is about their gov't. They're upset that their government gives them little freedom. I personally understand their anger. I mean, heck, I would be mad if a lot of other places in the world is filled with freedoms, but my country wasn't. 

Egypt is home to about 80 million people. That's a lot of people who may be upset. Also, that's a lot of people able to protest. 

But, not everyone in Egypt is happy with the protesters. Some think it gives them a bad name. They feel as if it gives them a bad "name".

Internet and Mobile service has been shut off, according to my resource. That would worry me. People here in America who have relatives in Egypt have no way to see if their family is safe or not, or where they are, even.

(Protesting in Egypt)

(More more protesting.)

I think that Egypt deserves freedom, but violence shouldn't be the way they try and obtain it. The anger some feel towards this issue can be a bit frightening, sometimes.
