Nobody really gets freedom without blood shed. The people of Egypt have just as much right to rise up in violent protest against a dictator as anyone else. Now if they are just smashing things and breaking windows then no one should support them but if they truly are trying to bring reform to their country ans you support democracy then yes you should support them. We were willing to shed blood to get democracy. Hell we are shedding blood as I type this to try and bring other people democracy.
If anyone's looking for up-to-date info on what's going on in Egypt

He mainly seems to bring close diplomatic ties to the US and alternatives to the Muslim Brotherhood

I've done a quick one; it makes me question whether government by the protesters would be better.

I oppose brutal oppression; I'm unconvinced either side in this will end it, thus I withhold support

I fully support their right to demand democracy; I don't expect they'll get it, whatever happens.

I think terrorizing innocents and torching buildings is a poor way to claim the moral highground.

Comparatively speaking, yes, it really was. Or at least in the US - not always so much in Asia.
