When the Man Comes Around

Mubarak stepped down. After appearing thick and not cognizant of reality following his last speech on Thursday night, Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak has left office. Power to the People.

Egypt is enjoying their Berlin Wall moment. Theirs, Tahrir Square, Liberation Square, is emblematic of the peaceful nature of this historical, peaceful, democratic revolution.

Let it be remembered that when the arms went up in Cairo, they did so without charging the halls of power. They promised peace as the path to democracy, and they delivered a revolution peacefully. They are the proud people of Egypt.

Yes, there were scuffles, fights, even some shootings. All of this does not change the fact that most of the violence was orchestrated or stirred up by the powers that be. The people who stood up for freedom and democracy drove their efforts without active malice. For that, they are to be commended.

Let their peaceful, democratic path lead them to a brighter, freer tomorrow.
