SIANARA MUBARAK - Your reign of terror & blatant neglect for those whom depend on you is no longer. I pity the womb you surfaced from...
But without trying to play the downer card - I have a hunch that whomever steps into office will unfortunately be hand picked by the good ol' US of A...
Under the table of course...
i certainly hope not.
it is very encouraging that we haven't seen any anti-american sentiment in the crowds. hell, one of the leaders of this movement works for Google!
I think if we keep our meddling hands off of this then there is a good chance that this will turn out very well for the west, we need to let the Egyptians decide for themselves.
of course, this would not have been possible if the military didn't restrain themselves.
this. military reaction seems to be a pretty accurate gauge of how successful a government overhaul will be. and the response from military leaders will almost always be rooted in their loyalty to the administration in question, and that loyalty is usually rooted in how 'fair' (read: totally unfair) the administration 'treated' (read: bribed) the military leaders and the funding of their requests. and even then, a military can always make the morally appropriate choice to ignore past association with an administration and refuse to stifle protest anyway. in this case it so happened that they stood aside and let things happen as they happened, but calling it a blueprint for future revolutions is assuming a lot about those future revolutions. which is basically what you said, i know, but i figured it was worth repetition and elaboration.

The military just announced that they will sack the cabinet and parliament so it looks like the entire regime is out, not just the President. very good news so far.
i think the internet (and as a result, twitter and fb) has helped to spread information and logistics. it's alot harder to control the news now then it used to be. young people can get different perspectives of the world beyond what the government is feeding them.
i wouldn't give them the lion's share of the credit of course, but it certainly helped.
