here in the UAE it's headline news along with the political woes of Lebanon over the last few days. i dont watch much TV, so i dont know what al jazeera is or isnt broadcasting, but the feeling im getting here is that most arab governments are watching this closely. Most governments here are run as autocracies, and any sort of protest would be a challenge to its right to rule.
despite the protests, i dont see anything coming from this protest for the time being. I think the pivotal point is going to come about when Mubarak dies and its time to pass the mantle on. mubarak's son isnt very popular in egypt and doesnt have the popular support of the people or the government. and since he is not from a military background, doesnt have the support of the military.
i see a lot of commotion when Hosni breathes his last, and its not going to be pretty i dont think.
