EGYPT: Mubarak's game is afoot.. His means are undemocratic. And every tyrant of course has his own supporters.

Every one has the right to say what is on his mind whether one agrees with it or not. This is democracy. Anti-Mubarak protesters have been and are still being covered. Protesters who are pro-Mubarak have also the right to be covered.

They (pro-Mubarak protesters) are scared that if Mubarak steps down, the country will suffer the same repercussions suffered by the Iraqi people after Saddam Hussein has been taken down. In general, I agree with them, but in details their argument is faulty, the intention of some of them is not genuine since they are thugs of Mubarak.

Parallel and analogy drawn between what is happening in Egypt and what has happened in Iraq is totally wrong, hence comparison is unfair: 1. Iraq was attacked by an outsider force which is not the case in Egypt, 2. The unfair invasion of Iraq was the main reason that has caused the Iraqis to suffer. 3. The ouster of Mubarak and his regime is definitely not going to leave a vacuum as everybody think. 4. People to fill the gap will be decided while a transient body (Elbatradei could be the head of the body) is  holding the reins momentarily, and 5. Demonstrations so far have been peaceful, made by the people for the people; no outsider instigators or planners. Hence It is not likely that after the ouster of Mubarak and his regime, some party will just jump in and take control. This a revolution not a coup d'etat, and.

In conclusion, Mubarak has to step down as soon as possible as everything so fare indicated that he a desperate man using every dirty trick in the book to remain on his chair.
