I've been following the Egyptian people's revolt and watched a peaceful and popular protest turned into a pitched battle with the future of Egypt at stake.
I was relieved to see President Mubarak announce he wouldn't seek a new term, appointed a VP and fired his cabinet.
I was concerned when the protesters rejected these actions and clung to their mantra that Mubarak must go and now.
Then the battle began, at first I didn't give the protesters much of a chance. But they developed a makeshift fighting style, battled back and it seems they carried the day.
I've gained a newand profound respect for Egyptians and hope they can carve out a new nation as a result of this revolt. The "Battle of Tahrir Square" will be a memorial event in their history.
I few the US role in this as supportive not interventionist. \
Could this be their "Bunker Hill"?
