"After six days of unprecedented protests, Hosni Mubarak and his regime still refuse to go. The fig leaf covering this regime has finally fallen, revealing the ugly naked truth. It is a regime that has worked solely and exclusively for its own survival. The events of the past days show that it is ready to burn the whole country if necessary....
So this is the regime's message of terror to the people: either Mubarak or the deep blue sea. It is becoming clearer by the minute that the regime is fighting for its life and will do whatever it takes to enforce submission, either by cutting off all our means of communication or, if necessary, by stopping the air we breathe.
Egypt has turned into a huge prison-house. I remember always George Orwell's 1984 and Room 101 where dissidents are tortured into submissiveness. I feel that we are already in that room, with rats and unimaginable horrors attacking us. Will we end up crying out "We love you, Big Brother"? I doubt it."
