Egyptian security forces have used tear gas on a raging crowd of demonstrators near the US Embassy in Cairo. Several dozen people have reportedly been injured as the police dispersed the stone-throwing demonstrators.

Riot police have managed to push a group of several hundred protesters back in Cairo's side streets near the embassy.­

Some of the protesters have been injured, state news agency MENA reported, giving no further details. Witnesses reporting the incident on Twitter said as many as several dozen people may have been injured.

The incident comes just a day after some 2,000 demonstrators gathered around the US embassy, while a group of the most conservative protesters tore down the American flag and replaced it with a black banner bearing the traditional Islamic message, “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Prophet.”

Mubarak looked good before the revolution! As did Kaddafi (or whichever of the 33 other spellings you prefer). They didn’t DARE provoke the United States.

Although author Alan Moore is a loon, I enjoyed the Watchmen graphic novel, and the movie that was made from it.

This scene shows one way to react to riots. Warning: some language.

I miss the Comedian around here. He got banned a while ago, and I don’t even know why. I always enjoyed his posts.

Four participants in Tuesday's demonstration who had climbed the wall of the embassy were arrested and transferred to the prosecutor's office.

Wow...They're sure making progress, 4 arrested out of a possible 2000, that's efficiency.

About the only “friend” Israel has left in the Region is King Abdula in Jordan and even he is in a pretty precarious position. With his own people.
