Hasta ayer esas protestas fueron absolutamente pac\u00edficas. Pero eso s\u00ed cambi\u00f3 ayer cuando las fuerzas pro Mubarak entraron en la contienda. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Anoche estuve observando c\u00f3mo las fuerzas pro-Mubarak lanzaban c\u00f3cteles molotov desde las alturas de los edificios adyacentes a los manifestantes de abajo. Vi c\u00f3mo matones organizados procedieron a apedrear a esos manifestantes. Vi como hab\u00eda disparos espor\u00e1dicos en la plaza. Y vi como un grupo de jinetes galopaba entre la multitud azotando a la gente con sus l\u00e1tigos. Esta matanza contra ciudadanos que protestan pac\u00edficamente es absolutamente inaceptable. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ahora, Estados Unidos ha tenido una relaci\u00f3n larga y estrecha con Egipto. Canalizamos una enorme cantidad de ayuda para el desarrollo econ\u00f3mico a Egipto. Pero d\u00e9jenme ser muy claro: lo que pas\u00f3 ayer no puede volver a suceder. Lo que pas\u00f3 ayer con matones que atacaron a manifestantes pac\u00edficos en nombre del gobierno no debe volver a suceder. De ninguna manera Estados Unidos puede hacer la vista gorda ante este ataque despiadado contra ciudadanos comunes y corrientes. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Esta ma\u00f1ana hubo voces dentro del gobierno egipcio que calificaron lo ocurrido ayer como un error fatal. El Primer Ministro Shafiq lo calific\u00f3 de error fatal. Y esta ma\u00f1ana hab\u00eda se\u00f1ales de que el ej\u00e9rcito, en lugar de permitir y organizar a los matones y permitirles asaltar la plaza, los manifestantes estaban interviniendo para protegerlos. Este es un giro correcto de los acontecimientos.<\/p>\n<p>Pero todos los que quieran escuchar deben se\u00f1alar que los ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos de Am\u00e9rica no se quedar\u00e1n impasibles ni apoyar\u00e1n a un gobierno que est\u00e1 atacando a manifestantes pac\u00edficos en una plaza de El Cairo. As\u00ed que si vemos una repetici\u00f3n de esta violencia, Estados Unidos debe enviar un mensaje muy fuerte: no habr\u00e1 m\u00e1s ayuda para el gobierno de Mubarak. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>No sabemos cu\u00e1l ser\u00e1 el resultado final de estas protestas. Pero la acci\u00f3n pac\u00edfica contra el gobierno es un sello distintivo de la democracia. Es un sello distintivo de la libertad. Y debemos garantizar que esas protestas puedan continuar, esas protestas pac\u00edficas que exigen una voz para los ciudadanos comunes y corrientes y que Egipto pueda avanzar hacia elecciones libres y justas.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the last week, I have watched the affairs in Tahir square in Cairo, as millions of Americans have, and was deeply impressed by the peaceful demonstration of Egyptian citizens calling for change in their nation &#8212;
