I was young, but married with young children when I watched the Ayatolla land in Iran. I knew for some reason that it was a very bad thing even tho I knew not much about politics and even less about the world and the Middle East. It just felt like a bad thing in a way I could not really put words to. This has that feel to it. I would like to be wrong.
If Mubarak is fleeing the country, I have a feeling that there will be no military quashing of this uprising.
