Cairo: Anger starting to focus on Israel, US: [jpost.com] "CAIRO – Saturday’s optimism on the streets of Cairo for imminent political
change gave way to anger on Sunday, as thousands of demonstrators became
increasingly frustrated with the lack of response from major world leaders,
especially the US.During the main protest on Sunday in downtown Cairo,
one man painted a 20- meter-long message in flowing Arabic cursive that echoed
across the square: “Go Away, Mubarak, you are from the Americans, and you’re
working for them!” Egyptians understand that the world is waiting to see if President Hosni Mubarak
falls to popular pressure before major leaders decide which side to support. But
this is infuriating the demonstrators, who realize that six days of unrest have
not accomplished their goal and that they need united international pressure in
order to topple the almost-30-year incumbent."
