Hosni Mubarak welcomes peaceful democratic change
Over the last 24 hours I have been following the tragic events in Cairo and other Egyptian cities as ordinary people try to rid themselves of a truely corrupt and violent regime which has ground them into the dirt for decades.

Just how much blood do such large amounts get you?
