Sorry this is a repeat of what was in the Can Egyptians do it? thread, but felt this was a significant enough breaking news item to list it separately.  Mubarack hands power over to a military tribunal.

There's a live stream from cairo on youtube.  This could be a great thing for the world.

or lead to another, very serious, war in the middle east.

what if it leads to another serious war, atleast the people choose to go to war and bare the consequences. Hosni mubarak camp david has to be modified so that we are selling gass prices at full price not at a third or less of the price of manufacturing. Besides i feel we don't need to go to war wityh israel, but i believe that we have to have our military in sina.

Yup... just what I needed as I'm about to enroll into college.

I hope the military does a good job of ensuring democracy and human rights. I'm not sure what is in the Egyptian Constitution but freedom of religion, speech etc...etc... need to be ensured in a future Egypt. The Military should also ensure that no radical extremist groups are allowed to participate in the election. Also the military should do everything in its power to keep Egypt on a moderate path.

If Muslim Brotherhood get in during elections lets hope they don't try to radicalize the country. Also the Egyptian Christian's have faced persecution for years I hope that the military and Government (Who ever elected) take steps to protect minorities.

In the end I hope the new Government isn't radical, a true human rights loving democratic party would do wonders for Egypt. Imagine a middle eastern country with all the freedoms and democracy of a western nation, that would be amazing and thats what I hope happens. But theirs a chance tyrants will get in control, start a war thousands if not millions will die, that would not be good at all.

Israel is probably aiming their nukes and missiles at egypt just to be safe LOL

are you talking about the same brotherhood i think i know since they were walking with women and christains in the streets they prayed in their own way without the brotherhood interruption and they didn't tell women to cover their heads. you know what a democracy is right so if people want hte brotherhood to rule egypt then it should as people make decision and reap the benefits or the consequences. egyptains should decide their future.

You're such a pessimist MrBubbles... Or is that realist? I get the two terms confused lol.

I guess. We did move two divisions south though!
