The revolution is over!
The president of Egypt finally stepped down! This is probably the most significant political event in my lifetime, possibly excluding the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. It took 18 days, but the people of Egypt are finally free!

Re: The revolution is over!
Now who's going to be "voted" into power?
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Re: The revolution is over!
Although now they only have 60 days to elect a new leader.
With such short time they'll probably get another bad leader.
And the cycle continues. In my opinion they should have waited until his final term ended so they'd have time to find and elect a competent leader.

Re: The revolution is over!
You can't say Egypt is 'free'. I didn't support Mubarak, but some people did. And besides, the army are running the Government for now until a proper government is elected, which means the voting system must be changed, meaning another possible revolution. So Egypt are certainly not free yet. This was phase 1.
I might return for a little while.
