    I am deeply touched!

    This lady (on the photo) called Wafaa, she is a mother of two. her husband is handicapped, and she works as a maid in order to feed the family.

    Last night (less than 24 hour before the police attack), I was talking to her; she is really Cheerful and funny. Although the tough days she is living, Wafaa was kidding. When she saw my camera, asked me to take her in a pic, but she was smiling, then she asked me to delete her photo, as “it is not proper to laugh while I am in a strike!”

    I left Wafaa to go home, while she was preparing to spend a second night on the street
    to get a flat!.

    This is very disturbing, and the picture is very moving.

    Now we know what Law and Order means. That is what we pay the police force and other government agencies to do isn’t it? What makes me wonder is what these policemen think when they destroy the lives of innocent hard working people?
    We call the devil the Prince of Darkness, none comes in a better form than Mubarak and his cronies. It is evident by what they are doing to law abiding, God fearing citizens of my God’s world. This is my prayer to all in the camp of Bush, Mubarak and all stoogies of this world; those who represent their father, the prince of darkness (Satan, Lucifer, Devil); “I pray that justice be done for those suffering because of your lies.” These liars use police and state apparatus on us, the workers of the world, in the guise of keeping law and order to oppress us and destroy our lives. They can destroy our flesh, but never our Spirit. I am with you all!
