I now have Al Jazeera on the TV in the background*, as I'm hoping to hear a positive development from Mubarak's upcoming speech.

It will be interesting to see how a transition is proposed. If Mubarak suggests merely handing the reins over to Suleiman, then I'm sure that won't be enough. As much of the commentary suggests, if Mubarak is genuine is handing power back to the people, the country should set up a council of some kind until legitimate elections are held.

Regardless, it's nice to hear the current timbre coming from the crowd in Liberation Square.

I'm not sure, either, how things will play out; however, it's time, at least, for Mubarak to step down.

*I noticed how Al Jazeera has set up a campaign on their website for Americans to "demand" Al Jazeera in the U.S.
