Orange County’s Egypt supporters celebrate in Anaheim

Santa Ana resident Naui Tetl was all set to lead a rally against Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak, on Saturday, but then Mubarak stepped down, after 30 years in power.  But Naui went  forward with the rally – which was now a celebration for the people of Egypt.

You can see the results in the video above.  Anaheim has had an Arab population for some time – but now they have come together – too late to help Bill Dalati, who ran for the Anaheim City Council last year, but just in time to celebrate the new freedom in Egypt.

Dalati was there on Saturday.  So was Orange Juice blog editor Vern Nelson.  And a lot of other folks.  Click here to see more pictures.

The big debate now is whether the Muslim Brotherhood will take over Egypt when they hold elections in about six months.  If they do, so be it.  That is democracy.  It isn’t always pretty.  But if that is what the Egyptians want, who are we to deny them that?

  • As a award winning journalist I was going to cover this event. However my wife wouldn't let me. She knows I have no self-control and figured I'd chow down on too much falafel. She says her insurance won't cover another surgery for me and doesn't want to be embarassed in front of her "dancing" friends when I become a fat ass again.

  • Thanks Deadbeat! I was so much happier when I was a fat slob. Losing all this weight just so my wife wouldn't be embarassed and disgusted by me has caused me to lose my mind.

  • Exactly Admin. Who are we to tell Egypt who to let into their Democracy. What ethnicity were those musicians? Seemed mysterious, but good.
