This is bigger than the pulling down of the Berlin wall, change is coming to the whole of the middle east. this is the real people making their voice heard, not the extremist not a terrorist organisation but real normal working people looking for real freedom and a true democracy. if saddam was still in power iraq would have gone the same way. IRAN SYRIA??????? whats to come for them now...
The west needs to stay out, we the west were is only true supporter....

About time.
Students in UK gave up so quickly
lol thats I said to my dad, these Egyptians know how to protest, albeit with AK47's.
Their democratic choices will be:
Another US puppet = receive lots of aid and kisses.
Muslim Brotherhood = no aid, cut off like Palestine and possibly invaded under the guise of 'peace'.
Neutral = no aid, probably end up assassinated by the muslim brotherhood
creating a vacuum for a US puppet to 'democratically' take over.either that or one of his military backers gave him a choice of a sudden & fatal case of lead poisoning or a long, continued air breathing, retirement
Is it ironic or hypocritical to call someone else a bigot and then say that the Afghan's are riding around mountains with AK47s and making love to goats?
Can you name the last time a popular uprising deposed a leader of a major country? Not only a major country but key player in a major region of the world?
For reference Egypt is the 16th largest (by population) country in the world and the 27th richest. This up there with the Iranian revolution in significance, we'll have to see what the impact ends up being. If this triggers similar moves over much of the Middle East, this could end being the most impactful global event since WWII!

Keyboard warriors get so confused in their fits of rage.
Orange Revolution, Ukraine 2004.
As AmTechFox has said, I don't really understand why people seem to think this is such a 'good' thing. Mubarak was not a cruel dictator like Saddam Hussein, yes Egypt was a managed authoritarian regime BUT it was also stable and responsable actor for moderation in the Middle East.
To everyone who's saying 'OMG WOOT!' I'd like to know how many of them have been to Egypt, and secondly whether any of them have been to any other country in the Middle East or understand how real transitions towards democratic rule happen.

Last time I checked, most terrorists weren't so keen on western interventionist foreign policy.
The requested page could not be found.
The Foreign Policy website seems to be timing out at the minute, I'm guessing the whole world is trying to get on there for some informed analysis, rather than I'll-considered celebratory fluff reporting.
