Rally 4 Egypt: Celebrating the Path to Freedom
Over 100 people gathered outside the downtown Vancouver Public Library on Feb. 12, 2011, to show their support for the Eygptian people's determined and courageous struggle that ended a decades-old dictatorship on Feb. 11, 2011. With Mubarak out, what's next for Egypt?

There is no both.
Stephanie did everything.
"Interviews by..."
I could say the exact same thing for your post of the Feb 3 rally vid, because I didn't do anything for the vid there either. ;)
At least you asked some questions!
I didn't do much interviewing: I just let these people talk.
Why is everyone trumpeting
Why is everyone trumpeting the same message as corporate media outlets; even here? This may (or may not) turn out as a phrrhic victory for the people of Egypt. Have you all forgotten the the military is in charge now? Why is there no trepidation about that?
Indeed ...
... I did try pretty hard to elicit something other than optimism from the Egyptians at the rally, but without much success. I know a thing or two about revolutions getting hijacked, but at least the Egyptians who showed up to this rally were pretty optimistic.
Only time will tell who's right and who's wrong.
