A Big Day in Egypt

Just a quick post on the subject, so you won’t find any links here.  I will attempt to add some later in the day.

Egyptian protesters are attempting to organize a huge rally today.  I suspect there will be developments over the course of the day.  The Army has promised not to intervene to quash the protests, and they should be commended for this decision.  Further, it appears that there is opposition leadership emerging (not in any way supportive of the Muslim Brotherhood, who are apparently suffering from their opportunistic decision to not support the protests until the masses did it, and sustained it, on their own).  Citizen committees are forming to protect priceless exhibits at museums, hospitals, etc, from damage and looting.  Good stuff all around.

Let us hope this trend continues.  Today may be a big day in Egypt.
