Comment on Egypt's Warning: Are you listening?

Comments

No I think it's more about the corrupt and oppressive regime.

The people weren't chanting "give us food"; they were chanting "The people want to oust the regime".

I think it culminated in that, but as with every revolution in history, the causes of these things are far more nuanced and complex than they tend to appear at first glance. The American Revolution was about far more than taxes on tea for example.
