Mubarek to step down ...

That's hard to predict. I just hope and pray it's not the muslim brotherhood terrorists.

What he said.

Now it gets really interesting. It will be very interesting to see what direcetion this administration will take.

Indeed. The future is a big question mark. Mubarak was Israel's greatest Arab ally, and probably the US's greatest ally as well. Will that continue? An army coup doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in principle, much less in such as delicate area of the world as Egypt is in. And there are Islamist groups, like the Muslim Brotherhood, hovering in the wings, and we don't know how much power these groups might get in the wash-up that must be to come.

I think with Mubarak stepping down is a good thing and a bad thing......I been watching the news on this and I know when it first broke out, that it was the younger generation of Egypt doing most of the protesting...But for the last week I see the older men and it sounds like more of the Islamist are raising their voice now to be heard....I sorta think it got shifted to the Muslim Brotherhood......which that is not good at all for the people......Give them time and they will want Mubarak back.......

Not just Egypt's future but perhaps the future of the Middle East. Praying the removal of Mubarak is the best thing for the Egyptian people.

Absolutely. It's all quite scary. Equally, it could be a change for the better for almost everyone.

So far, so good. It certainly does have the potential to be a vacuum to be filled by the worst of the worst but so far it is going well. The military is acting as I had hoped and if things continue to go well the people will have a chance to establish a country and government of their own free choice. The military has committed to maintain the peace with Israel.

It's all a big waiting game for now.
