    You're not supposed to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who says it.

    I hope it's going to be a good ending too and they get someone with the best interests of the people in power. Opps we're talking about politicians here, who mostly lack integrity, given the lies they spout before they're elected - Cameron, Clegg and co spring to mind!!!

    I am such a cynic!

    ... of the end? Or just the end of the beginning?

    Remember that Mubarak was able to operate his repressive rule for the last 30 years under Emergency Powers implemented by the army and police. Armies aren't usually too keen to hand over power once they've got it! The big question is: will the people still come out into the streets when they're not sure they won't be fired on?

    Right to be so too, BH! I can't help worrying slightly though about what happens when disillusionment sets in again... Remember Obama!

    At least most of us in the UK weren't exactly expecting liberation when the regime changed...
