“Hey listen George, thanks for coming. Could you do me a solid? Would you mind telling your Republican friends that I finished fighting the wars you started and that yes, I’m still trying to undo the economic damage wrought by your dizzyingly daft dependence on tax breaks for the rich? I know you don’t think Mitt Romney’s a real conservative anyway. Oh also tell your dad he’s got some ridiculous socks. Trust me on that. Kthxbai.”

Naturally the common people don’t want war…. But… it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship…. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

Hosni Mubarak was found guilty of allowing the deaths of at least 800 protesters in the 18-day uprising that toppled his presidency in 2011.
He was given a life sentence, which he will serve in Torah prison in southern Cairo. Given a life sentence alongside him was his former interior minister Habib el-Adly. The corruption charges leveled against his sons, Gamal and Alaa, were dropped.
The picture above was taken and tweeted by Al Jazeera’s @glcarlstrom, and is of parents outside the courthouse who have dropped to their knees crying over the portrait of their martyred son after hearing the news of the verdict.
