Revolution: Harness The Momentum

I am very happy with the quantity of people participating in the protests. Things are going well on that front. However, this is a revolution with many fronts. Here are my concerns captured in a twitter stream (read bottom to top):

Was the protest not said to be about communicating? You don't have to communicate only with Barbarak and Sillyman... #egypt

Officers in military have family and friends... there are people who can ask them their intentions without risk, get in touch. #egypt

So, who is talking to high ranking individuals to get their commitment not to use force on protesters? Think regional. #egypt.

Some folks need to be working on the next step, some the step after that and some further ahead... as well as the revolution itself. #egypt

Are there any concrete plans to improve things for the common person? Let's get thinking... it won't magically happen later. #egypt

It's not just about having a lot of people. It's about finding a path the reduces the amount of bloodshed needed to succeed and increases the chance of that success.

If you agree please forward this to someone who may be able to do something about it.
