"IF this story is true, the protesters have won a major victory."
What a roller-coaster! I'm impressed that the people assembled in the square yesterday evening were as "restrained" as they were. No buildings were burned or trashed. Nobody seems to have been seriously injured or even arrested.
Today I would expect to see the most massive demonstration yet, and I predict that before nightfall Mubarak will opt to vacate the palace via his waiting helicopter for Sharm el Sheikh.
Or perhaps one of Eric's darker options will become reality.
I'm reminded of the wave of mass demonstrations with toppled the Communist governments in Eastern Europe in the 1990's. People power can do it.
