Hope and pray

Well I can only hope that President Mubarak displays a shred of honesty, and departs, rather than crushing this in the usual tyrannical rivers of blood ... if he can, that is.

One thing that astonished me is that my (few) Egyptian friends, who are all of military occupation or background*, are unanimously of the opinion that his government is now so rotten and dishonest as to need immediate replacement. If army officers of long provenance feel like this, what are the odds of the army NOT enforcing a crackdown, if those orders are passed down? I really hope I don't find out.


*and are all wargamers, unsurprisingly.
