Egypt protest led to some violence but it never reached the violence of the American Revolutionary war.
Egypt’s Revolution was spread throughout the world by technology unlike the American Rev.

7. Where is this going
I believe that the Egyptians are moving in the right direction and they are now moving into of a more democratic way of a government unlike before. There is still a lot of work because there are people in Egypt who still do not believe the democratic way is the right way.
