Neither.  I was quoting Suu's link.

There's actually rumors he's fled Cairo and had pre-recorded his message.  At this point, this may be just a measure taken to get the streets cleared and revenues still streaming in.  Egypt's going to be going bankrupt unless it gets back to work.  And their labor issues are NOT going to be resolved--the power structure has barely been razed.  *shrug*  But this feeling of empowerment's been earned, I think.

The real victory is that of the narrative.  I see this as a rinse/repeat issue.  It seems less important whether the new guard will emulate the old guard, but that you've got a set of people who believe that they can make a difference, and who will be pissed off with anyone who stands in their way.

Edit - that's why I'm excited about this, at least.

Likewise here. It will also be interesting to see how this effects the region. The outcomes might not be that pleasant but it makes me wonder.

This really is an incredible time in history.
18 days of open protests.
Only 300 - 400 casualties.
Limited property damage.
One of the most entrenched dictators in the world is unseated.

The Egyptian people displayed humanity and class, perhaps better than any other group of humans under these circumstances ever has.

Also, dictators who aren't as well entrenched probably aren't sleeping very well tonight.
