Three Egyptian Mobs

The first Egyptian mob chanting and demonstrating a month ago on CNN was out to get rid of Hosni Mubarak and President Obama, figuring the mob was a sign of a ‘fledgling new Democracy’ being born in front of his eyes, gave Mubarak a shove.
 
The second Egyptian mob about a week ago wanted to tear down the US Embassy in revenge for Navy Seals ambushing Osama bin Laden. The Egyptian army stopped them.
 
The third Egyptian mob in a street fight two days later burned down a Coptic Christian Church, leaving 12 people dead and 230 wounded.
 
Is this one mob three times or three different mobs? Let’s hope it’s three different mobs. Because if it’s the same mob it’s going to be a pretty good sign all that talk of ‘fledging democracies’ was Whiffenpoof music.
