YEAH! “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” - Thomas Jefferson
So I guess Suleiman is in charge now? What I suppose they could do is install a nominal civilian government with the real power residing in the hands of the military. Something like Pakistan or Turkey.

This was a peaceful revolution. The blood spilled was because of the pro government hired thugs.

Something like > Pakistan or Turkey. Al-Arabiya reports that the Higher Military Council will sack the cabinet, suspend both houses of Parliament and rule with the head of the Supreme Constitutional Court, the country’s highest judicial body. A statement is expected later on Friday.

YEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA … I never thought I’d see the day. They need to let out the 50,000 political prisoners to celebrate …
I’m so happy for you mo34!!! I have a few Egyptian friends, it is so great to see how happy they are!
This is a great moment, but don’t mistake the opportunity for a just, open, peaceful and prosperous Egypt with its delivery. There are still many many ways this can play out, and not all of them lead to a happy conclusion. But for today, it is something fit to celebrate.

I am not arguing with you. Just pointing out that you could have used a more appropriate quote than one that has been coopted by some extremist groups.

What a difference 3 weeks make. US politicians ( the beacon of freedom and democracy:) ) have supported this guy and his ruthless regime for 30 years for no reason other than to keep “Stability” … Time for a new order in the Middle-East where our freedom and interests come first. This is the greatest day of my life … Unbelievable. BChad, hopefully we’ll end up like Turkey or Malaysia. Nothing is impossible.
Maybe I wouldn’t get too excited. This is the beginning of a new Pakistan.

Congratulations, mo34.
Perhaps you are right, Pakistan promotes Islamism against India, and Egypt will likely not do that against Israel as Israel is a US ally. It may well turn out closer to Turkey. However, I think US FP in the region is going to be dashed by Mubarak’s departure.
