So I hoped--and prayed--that someone pretty powerful in the army would have a "little talk" with Mubarak, and allow him to leave with dignity--before he was thrown out on his ass--and perhaps without his head!
Appears that "little talk" may have taken place, allowing the army to now be as "in control" as anyone can be. And a little while ago I saw (on Fox) a group of young men shaking hands with soldiers--even kissing them--and seeming to be very grateful for their presence.
I found that scene very encouraging. At least the military is a respected institution, and I pray--earnestly--that it will now do all it can to keep this respect, while not yielding too much ground to the MB. Letting the MB gain too much power would, of course, be disastrous for Egypt, the whole Middle Wast, and us!
Seeing that the military has stepped in and taken control makes me worry. But they are the only ones that will be able to “keep the peace” so that things don't disintegrate into anarchy.
So we wait and watch. Hopefully, Obama doesn't do something stupid to screw things up.
