AMEN! And I have been. Yesterday--after listenening to all the reaction to Mubarak's non-resignation speech, I was REALLY worried that there could be a real explosion of violence in Egypt that would result in the army having to put down a revolt, and lose whatever respect they have among the population.

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!
