This thread is to discuss the Egyptian Riots and the current situation.

The Egyptian military is in the streets and are allowing the protests to continue. In fact many of the protesters are shaking hands with Army personnel. What does this mean? Only time will determine.

CAIRO – Tens of thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators swarmed central Cairo on Saturday in the largest demonstration yet against the rule of the country’s longtime autocratic leader, President Hosni Mubarak. The crowd went unchallenged by troops, who, in extraordinary scenes unfolding around the capital’s central Tahrir Square, smiled and shook hands with protesters and invited them up onto their tanks.

Is the Egyptian Military letting people vent or is there more to this?
