EGYPT HAS LEFT THE BUILDING

Egyptians are breathing fresh air for the first time in thirty years today. The youth, the overwhelmingly not to be denied youth twenty five and under, pulled off a social networked revolution - a first of its kind - that brought together all ages in eighteen days that changed a nation. One dictator is gone; the others are watching, terrified. Peaceful protest hasn't seen this fine an example, or produced such fruitful results, since the American Civil Rights Struggle of the last century. We have seen us at our best and we rejoice. For today, at least, we are all Egyptians.
