MUBARAK STEPS DOWN!!!!!

"FREE EGYPT, FREE EGYPT", is the chant all over Egypt as they hear the announcement that Hosni Mubarak has stepped down and left Cairo.  The people are shouting, and crying in the streets.  These people who in 17 days have brought down a dictatorship of 30 years!!!! Think of what the ramifications of that are in the Middle East! This is nothing short of miraculous, and surely to bring other dictators to their knees!!!!  It is humbling to see so many risk their lives for what we take for granted...our freedom, and a chance to vote.  I wonder what the percentage of population to voter turnout there is in the free Western World.  But I guess that's part of what freedom is....freedom to vote or not to vote?  This reminds me of course, of the political nursery rhyme....
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
All the kings horses and all the king's men'
Couldn't put humpty together again!
Hosni has been scrambled ...and what is left is to clean up the mess. But first....to CELEBRATE!!!
