suleiman has just told several million people who weren't listening to go home.
mubarak talked about himself.
there's a "clear road-map" in the form of committee protocols that no-one outside the oligarchy has access to. the oligarchy is of course exactly the same people as were around power before. pawns from the left side of the board have been moved to the right side of the board.
this is what "stability" looks like....superficial theater.
democracy is something argued for by outsiders except when it's a legitimate demand and is something we are moving toward now but remains in the future, one that they will always find reasons to keep in abeyance as the people are never ready for democracy. why they'd have to think for themselves, and you can see from the united of states that lots of people prefer "simple" to thinking for themselves and that this democracy business is best if other people take care of the democray part for them because if that doesn't happen then.....oopsie.....simple goes out the window.

It's really quite bizarre that the president would stand up, especially on a Thursday night, and essentially antagonise the crowd on the eve of a Friday, traditionally the most volatile day for protests in the Arab world. So tomorrow's going to be quite a day I expect."
