It's great to see all of those rightfully excited people. Muslims protecting Christians and vice-versa throughout all of this protesting. Not only a major victory for the people of Egypt, but for humanity as well.

man mubarak is a loon. "he's stepping down, no he's not stepping down he's here til september, oh wait he's stepping down" make up your damn mind!

so has he stepped down for reals this time? really?

also this is pretty significant as I expected shit to hit the fan today after yesterday's announcement that he wasnt stepping down

Seems like its legit this time, with the military assuming control.

Too bad there's already a huge thread on this in the Lounge. Still, it's wonderful news that he has finally stepped down.
