BREAKING NEWS: Egypt's ex-President Hosni Mubarak has been sentenced to life in prison after a court convicted him on charges of complicity in the killing of protesters during last year's uprising that forced him from power.

Mubarak is the first Arab leader to be tried by his own people in the country.

The sentence was handed down Saturday in a Cairo court.

What next for Egypt?

Not a happy future for Egypt by the looks of things - revolutions rarely are. There's a theocracy waiting in the wings, the old regime is still there...

Surely the lack of a happy future isn't because of revolution itself, but because the goals of the revolution were denied?

Egypt is going to go further down the toilet.

Stuck between a rock (the candidate that used to be the prime minister) or the hard place (the fundamentalist muslim). The moderates in between didn't quite get the following and now whichever candidate gets in the other half of the country will revolt.

And with suggestions like that you wonder why he doesn't leave...?

Struggle and possibly hold on to power or leave and get arrested/strung up/killed...

I know which one I would choose. It's difficult as you can't let leaders off scott free but somehow they have to want to leave without worrying about the repercussions of them doing so.
