I'm not optimistic for the future regarding who will get in there.
But anyway... I hope some other African nations are taking notice at how the Egyptians did this (Zimbabwe, I'm looking at you).

Hahahaha no it's like cancer, you need to get cancer for it to kill you, you cannot die and get cancer. Makes no sense but anyways let's move along and agree the end is coming.

On Al Jazeera now, the third statement from the Military: "For all the martyrs that have died..." basic chat "...Peace be upon you."
Although the available ppl that will take over are not the best by any stretch of the imagination, the Egyptians would have at least elected them.
Mubarak was notorious for not looking out for his ppl, but was supported by the west because of his compliance ( utterly disgusting ).
The rest of the UAE are on alert I am sure, those palaces are made of glass it seems.
Btw guys assumption that a radical group will come to power is just that an assumption. Egypt will pick its ruler, what's more interesting is if the Aid that was given to the Mubarak regime will continue.

Mubarak may of been a dictator but he still did a lot for Egypt, but his time is up, he is gone, so be it.
Would like to see the same in the brutal arab regimes such as Iran and Syria, but there they have no problem killing a few citizens to keep hold of power.
Not much noise was made of the fact that Syria brought in loads of Hizbullah thugs to "protect" government buildings in case the army took the side of the civillians, but that demonstation fizzled out, pobably because of that.
And we all know what happened in Iran 2009.............and yet monkey boy claims to be on the side of the demonstrators, what a two faced pig.
Interesting times lie ahead for Egypt, it is not going to be easy for the new government to recover let alone run the largest Arab country with a huge poor population.

Given Africa's abysmal record of replacing bad leaders with ones 10 times worse, I fear for Egypt's future.
Mubarak did not do alot for Egypt, he stayed for so long because he appeased his western Masters. The US only voiced support when the writing was on the wall.
Iran and Syria will come next, this will hopefully give their people some confidence.
A new day has dawned but the rebuild will a long time, if the military relinquishes power.

You, like many, are cannon fodder. But, then, nothing works for population development, like all out war.

So JZ says he did the right thing and showed true leadership by stepping down..hmmm. now why doesn't he tell that to Mugabe too?
"Cape Town - South Africa President Jacob Zuma said Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak had "thought like a leader" and made the right choice to step down from power on Friday.
"Our wish was that the Egyptian problem must be resolved peacefully, the transition must be peaceful," said Zuma in a South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) television news report.
"We therefore thank him for having thought like a leader, to place the interests of Egypt above his own, and taken the correct decision to leave."
South Africa hoped that who had been calling for Mubarak's departure will be in a position to "pick up the situation and build a government that will be based on the will of the people," Zuma added.

Indeed, I agree calling the Iranian Islamist regime brutal is not harsh enough, they are murderous terroist rapist thugs.
But why take my word for it, lets listen to an Iranian judge, and the only Iranian to win a nobel peace prize:

Incredible that you can even defend them, I suppose you will be singing a different tune when the opposition and the people awaken again, their time is coming.
I don't need to. No reason to over a hater and a hillbilly.
where have i defended the Iranian regimes crackdown on protesters? please provide quotes or are you simply trolling again? also go read my post again, take note of the part i have bolded, once you figure out how and why you failed perhaps you will realize what a fool you have made of yourself, in anycase i believe debating uninformed rightwing extremists is a futile and silly exercise so dont expect me to engage in a pointless tit for tat with you, i dont feed trolls.

All good and that he's gone ... it's who fills this vacuum that has real concern. Egypt is a powerful nation among the Arabic speaking countries. They control the Seuz canal, an important shipping route. In the wrong hands and it will hold significant implications for global economy, the ability to move naval ships quickly, etc. They have had a long lasting piece agreement with Israel. All of this could come under threat.
So for now I am not going to be celebrating. Don't get me wrong, they'd no place in this world for dictators or dictatorships (take note ANC), but what could in his place could cause major problems.

I see Fader4 is a tad touchy with these Shiite Persians being called Arabs.
back on topic
Yay Egypt, got rid of the dictator, lets celebrate, now we have military rule....good change, NOT.
Lets see when elections are called, hopefully soon, Egypt economy taking a huge knock every day this goes on.

if you dont have at least a partial understand of the history and difference between arabs and persians and how this history affects current arab/iranian relations its difficult for me to take you seriously when you attempt to speak on the subject
the sooner the elections take place the higher the chances that the muslim brotherhood gets into power due to the fact that they are the most organised opposition group with a relatively large base, the other opposition bodies have tended to be fractured and disorganized, of course if that is the will of the people then so be it... such is democracy... i suspect the west and its agents wont be able to stop the brotherhood from playing a substantial role in Egyptian politics in time to come
also, i am still waiting for you to show me where i have defended the iranian regimes crackdown on pro democracy protesters.
