Lets see...after over 3 weeks of 24/7 protests, they got rid of one guy. Correction: there were over 100 people killed also, but they don't count. Nothing else changed, the army is in charge now, they were before the riots also. Maybe the square got a little paint here and there and the bricks and stones are being returned to the street pavement or to the building walls, fetched during the protests for projectiles.
The coalition of youth groups are beginning to voice their needs and wants.
Lets see... most of the youth that protested were unemployed before the riot are now re-unemployed. The is a tremendous void with the constution set aside and parliment dispersed to the four winds and the banks are ... broke. Egypt has 80M souls, 18M in Cairo alone. The army is the sheriff in town. But when push gets to shove down the road, the old top grade military staff will high tail it out of town, following Murbarak. The young turks will abondon their posts and join the new rioters. This is where it gets dicy; the Muslim Brotherhood and et.al. bad folks enter stage left.
This protest pandemic has reached many other North African and Middle Eastern nations, the latest Iran where I rout for the protesters, like I did in June 2009, when PP left them dangle. What is going to support the bridge to democracy???
Note to the State Department: In the meantime advise the DoD to move the 6th Fleet into the Mediterranean Sea in force to protect the Seuz Canel and the Red Sea shipping channels. While at it wipe out the rebels in Solomia and in Yemen.
