the entire population of cairo is a bit over 20 Million. It's chaos as it is on a normal day in cairo, and you think that 30M can be sardine canned into a tiny square? Thats 1.5 times more than the entire population of australia. you'd also like to factor in that many would not have come out in fear of retribution and intimidation should these protests fail.
I have no doubt that if mubarak stays and completes his term till the elections, that he'll go after the protesters with a vengeance, and pocket a few more billion along the way.
i have many egyptian friends, and have met hundreds if not thousands of egyptians in daily life over the years whether ive met them in the mosques, or at work, or in the streets, but im yet to meet one who loves what mubarak has done for them over the last 30 years. I think that's a fair demographic of what egyptians out of the country think about him. they're the lucky ones that can voice their opinions. the unlucky bastards are the ones still protesting in the Square.
