POWER to the PEOPLE!!!!

It gives me the shivers... Goosebumps.

The scenes from Cairo, now that Mubarak finally stepped down, are amazing. It is an example of what can happen when people decide that enough is enough. To think that we were in Egypt two months ago, and none of this was in the air. And then, all of the sudden, people take Tahrir square, refuse to leave, and bring Mubarak to his knees.

History unfolding.

The big question is what comes next. Hopefully, the people of Egypt will not allow their victory to fade away. Hopefully, they will push for a transition from current military authority to a civil government that can develop the basis for institutional democracy. Hopefully, the will not give up the power they claimed, and continue to transform their reality.
