Egypt a country in transition

One would imagine that any dictator following the removal of Chaushesku in Romania some 20 years ago would have learnt that the people will rise and rebel when pushed too far. So one would think that Hosni Mubarak would get the message and do everyone a favor by volunteering to leave instead he chose to dismiss 'his government' and replace them with another version of 'his government'.

Now despite the fact that I am no expert on Egyptian affairs one thing I know for sure is that the will of the people is supreme and when the people take up arms on their own streets then the message is loud and clear.

It is estimated that more than 60% of Egypt's population is under the age of 25 these young people are coming into a world where there are no prospects, vast unemployment and poverty. The Mubarak regime has been in place for 30 years and has done very little to deal with these endemic problems so the people want a change and the dictator should do the right thing and leave.
