Jan. 25: The largest protests in three decades broke out in Egypt, shocking the regime of President Hosni Mubarak. Thousands of protesters, energized by the popular energy that toppled Tunisian autocrat Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali two weeks earlier, converged on Cairo's Tahrir Square in what they dubbed the "day of rage."

the Egyptian people should be
the Egyptian people should be proud, but they also must appreciate that the long march to democracy is hard and while they deserve to celebrate, there is still tremendous work to be done -- to put together a democratic constitituion, to stop radicals from hijacking the freedom movement for the purpose of imposing their own agenda, and to end the appalling corruption that has apparently enriched teh rulling regime.
Egypt has one thing going for it that Iraq did not -- a long history of civil society and proud nationhood that might offer hope for a more humane and civil process as the new government is formed.
