A royal mess. A strongman has been in power for 30 years and is not relinquishing power rapidly enough to placate masses of angry Egyptians.
Rioting has broken out.
A lot of people think that the problem here is that Mubarak is too much of an authoritarian and has repressed freedoms and opportunities for so many for so long that it is inevitable that a revolution has bubbled up.
That is bullshit. Egypt needs to look no further than its past for an answer to the future.
That's right. BRING BACK THE PHARAOH!!! Mubarak just wasn't STRONG ENOUGH. He didn't wield a scepter and staff, he didn't force Jews to build him epic pyramids, he won't get his body mummified, put into a sarcophagus and looted into eternity.
Egpytian people- This is your time, this is your moment. I hope you can find the strength and courage to act on your convictions, especially if those convictions know full well that your answer is a new Pharaoh for a new time.
