Revolution in Iran

That's the thing, Mubuarek *sp* never wanted force against the people, but sent the military out to protect the masses, apparently.

This is not true. He ordered the military to slay the protesters and the military said "we are not killing our own people."

But the critical moment came on the evening of 30 January when, it is now clear, Mubarak ordered the Egyptian Third Army to crush the demonstrators in Tahrir Square with their tanks after flying F-16 fighter bombers at low level over the protesters. Many of the senior tank commanders could be seen tearing off their headsets – over which they had received the fatal orders – to use their mobile phones. They were, it now transpires, calling their own military families for advice. Fathers who had spent their lives serving the Egyptian army told their sons to disobey, that they must never kill their own people.
