Unrest in Egypt
My take is Mubarek is not going to go easily.

Partial quotes follow :
"My first responsibility now is to restore the stability and security of the homeland, to achieve a peaceful transition of power in an environment that will protect Egypt and Egyptians and which will allow for the responsibility to be given to whoever the people elect in the forthcoming elections," Mubarak said in a televised address Tuesday night."
Now today:http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa/02/02/egypt.protests/index.html?hpt=T1
"In a surreal scene resembling the movie "Ben Hur," supporters of embattled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak thundered through the crowds on horses and camels in central Tahrir Square. At least one man was pulled off his horse and beaten."
I am curious how that could happen without Government assistance, since horses and camels are not that common in Cairo?
Hopefully the military will be the stabilizing influence
http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/africa...ers/index.html
"Already, Egypt's military, the guardian of secular stability in a major corner of the Arab world, has indicated it sympathizes with demonstrators when it announced it won't use force against protesters this week."
It will be an interesting time for the future here. Keep a weather eye
