Egypt, History in the making...

Hi bigal, I have also watched with interest and think that the Egyptian people should be very proud. There were so many people and yet most protests were peaceful. A great example to the rest of the world. I think that this may be just the beginning of many changes in the world. Egyptians deserve a good government and I hope they get it. Blessings.

historically, egypt has always been the most advanced of countries, till the fall when Rome took over. So, hopefully the rest of the middle east will follow and be better for their people. so they can concentrate on survival of this state all countries are getting into.

Yep, I knew that. I just hope they get a democracy, and not something worse than what they had. I just signed a petition today related to preventing Mubarak from taking money out of the country.

I'm also interest in the topic about the Egypt and wish the best for them. But I don't think Iran would follow the way. The Egyptian military is close to the US. They don't support Mubarak, But the Iran goverment definitely control the militray, The Iranian revolution failed by the repression of the military not long before. What impact the revoluation of Egypt will effect in the future to the country around them is still unknow. But if the Egyptian live a better life and the prospect of economic development is bright, The leaders of other Islamic country will worry that something happen in Egypt will be repeated in their country.

hey bigal such a nice topic you brought to us. But dear what happened in Egypt will be repeated in some more Arab countries in next coming days. I am more concerned about the future of Egypt than anything else

I think the revolution in Egypt may not have any impact or effect on other Islamic countries. Egypt was a separate issue. Mobarak was ruling for over thirty years and on account of age and also assumptions, he became ineffective and people wanted a change. The change has come. best wishes

I can still remember that three way handshake in the 70's between the U.S.,Israel,and Egypt.I was too young to Truly understand but they looked happy so I was. Now I understand that handshake meant so much . I am not sure if the new Egypt will still be friendly to Israel. As I Jew I surely hope so but that does not damper my joy for all Egyptians . They are Free! They did it without too much bloodshed. Us Yanks had to fight three wars until we All were free.To see them gain their freedom warms my heart. I hope they make an Egypt they all can be proud of. Will get serve as an example? I guess it depends. Iran is different than Egypt What is good for Egyptians may not work in Iran. It is up to them , the people of Iran, to choose what works for them.

Well Egypt will have an effect on the Islamic World what kind of effect that is really hard to say I can tell you right now that the leaders of the other countries in and around Egypt are worried of what could happen in their respective countries and are most likely working out a plan but as X pointed out most of those countries it seems at least that the Military is with the leaders so unless something unexpected happens in these countries they will most likely be rebellions meaning revolutions that fail. Egypt's Military also are close allies to the United States Military with many of them going to our Military Academies so they where in communication with our generals and getting advice from us on how they should act. I do think that some of the Revolutions will have success like Tunisia http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/country_profiles/791969.stm Tunisia didn't get as much press as Egypt but that is because Egypt is one of our closes friends.

First, I am very happy for the Egyptians. They have accomplished a marvelous feat. However, the revolution is still evolving and everyone is on edge about what is to follow, I think that the fact that it has gone this far is amazing. I hope that Mubarak leaving isn't just a hoax perpetuated on the citizenry just to get the country back to work. The Iranians have already tried a revolution and people were killed by their repressive government. So I'm doubtful if they'll try again. We are already seeing the effect it is having on the rest of the world in that region. Algerians are demonstrating and Yemeni are trying to do the same. Some of the other countries have given their citizens money and even free food for a year hoping to stave off any uprisings. Things have definitely changed over there and I fear for the general welfare of the people who are still under the strict dictatorships.

yes its time for Africa to be liberated from a type of government i call monarchy Egypt is bigger than one person
