I've Been Thinking:
Hosni Mubarak - after much jockeying for position and a series of false starts and stops has stepped down from office.
Mubarak transferred all control to the Superior Council for the Military which is headed by General Tantawi. And not surprisingly Omar Suleiman also sits on the council. Egypt is now under military rule.
But this is not really very different than yesterday... when it was also a military dictatorship.
Just like Mubarak and Sadaat before him Suleiman has been a military leaders his entire adult life. Historically, Egypt has been controlled by the military and now again the military is in total control.
In Egypt the leader leads the army ann contrary to media reports, the Egyptian army can be extremely oppressive and brutal.
The saying goes, "Be careful what you wish for." The people of Egypt have gotten what they wish for. Now let's see if they like it.
