As Arabs protest, Obama administration offers assertive support
""The most the U.S. can do in the short run is reorient their rhetoric," said Shadi Hamid, director of research at the Brookings Institution's Doha Center. "People want moral support; they want to hear words of encouragement. Right now, they don't have that. They feel the world doesn't care and the world is working against them.""

Good update article with photos, video, at the London Daily Mail.
No further info on the story of the Mubarek relatives flying out of Egypt to the UK, other than reiterating what's already been said, and referring to the original sole source website of that info.
What I find interesting about the pictures of both the Egyptian and Tunisian protesters, is the range of ages of the people on the street. There are a lot of middle-aged and older folks out in the streets. That, IMHO, is one of the ways you can tell whether the sentiment is genuinely widespread, unlike the rent-a-riot crowds that show up to smash windows and what not at G20 meetings and the like.
