Lets have an LSN party!

+1

Had they gotten violent who knows how it would have gone with the military.

BTW, I'm in for the sock thing, but most of mine have holes in the toes, so it won't be pretty.

Darn It!

CNN just showed the statement from Suleiman


he didn't look like he was very happy about what he had to say

With Social Networks and ability to have rapid communication, more dictators may find it harder and harder to keep a lid on an oppressed people.

Tears of joy for the wonderful Egyptian people! They did it! And all without violence! What a lesson for the entire world!

Babsi and Muh, Janey, Strawberry...ALL of you, I wish I could celebrate in person with you today! I am so proud to know you from this forum. My heart yearns to be embracing each and all of you but especially those brave ones who put their very lives on the line for freedom.

Bravo!

Nope he didn't looked like he just sucked on a sour pickle.....LOL. Maybe someone had a gun to his back

Obama saw events on TV and was not aware it was coming - was rushed to a TV screen

I have to admit, that was the shortest, greatest speech EVAR!!!!!

Funny.. how that thing Karma works eh? Hmm.. I wonder if this vicious known torturer, will have the tables turned on him? Hrm? Perhaps?

I guess this is as good of a time as any to say hi. I'm Mike. I think a lot of the good that has happened in Egypt is due to brave and dedicated people such as you on the forums. Bringing the information to everyone who wants to see through the veil is a noble effort. I can't imagine how difficult it is for those of you who have had to suffer through the turmoil. My hat is off to all of you!

hell Snark,I'M pretty tough and I got tears listening to the lady reporter only knowing HM in her life. touching

would be interesting to know WHEN the army started to take action

after State TV turned against? or before? or same time?

...maybe it really started with the 50 pro-mubarak army officers who were arrested by the people's army today..

Sorry to interrupt you , but janey you should know better.

They have been a Military dictatorship for 30 years and now they only change faces.

If , in the next 60 days , a state of war is declared, no democratical elections will take place.

And look at the wires , Israel is itching

Please stand by for the president.

? Israel SHOULD be itching. Funny, how this is always about poor poor Israel. Maybe if Bibi would take a moment, to sit down and STFU, and actually NEGOTIATE a REAL peace treaty with the Palestinians, he would hold better face with Egypt.

Maybe the Israeli people should think about overthrowing their government? Hrm? Food for thought.

I agree in that we do not know what the future holds for Egypt or any of us, but I am ever the optimist and am celebrating with these people as Janey and not as a journalist as people have died to achieve this. You are quite right, the journalist side of me doesnt know what is ahead, but my personal side supports any people fighting against oppression.

My congratulations to the people of Egypt in what they have accomplished without firing a single bullet. My condolences to the families of those who were lost in this historic struggle for freedom. Now in the times ahead may they continute to be steadfast and full of good wisdom as they try to create for themselves a democracy that respects the rule of all and the rights of all.

May God be with them all

CNN trying to get Ghonim on the phone. Should be good.
