Mubark steps down, and Egypt is free at last. Power to the people. It is a well deserved Victory for the Egyptian people. They protested peacefully , with dignity, maturity, and with one very effective weapon in their hand.
"True, This! — Beneath the rule of men entirely great, The pen is mightier than the sword. Behold The arch-enchanters wand! — itself a nothing! — But taking sorcery from the master-hand To paralyse the Cæsars, and to strike The loud earth breathless! — Take away the sword — States can be saved without it!"
History in the making! Congratulations to the people of Egypt. My greatest fear when the revolution started was that the army might turn against the people and start using force to suppress them. It is to their credit that they conducted themselves so well in the world's eyes and so became the guardians of peace and the shepherds of the Egyptian people towards a new democracy.
i rejoice with you even though i am italian, it is a legitimate feeling to desire freedom for ones country. Glad you stopped by my blog, i enjoy yours! Roberta

ReplyDeleteBeneath the rule of men entirely great,
The pen is mightier than the sword. Behold
The arch-enchanters wand! — itself a nothing! —
But taking sorcery from the master-hand
To paralyse the Cæsars, and to strike
The loud earth breathless! — Take away the sword —
States can be saved without it!"
