What seems most important to me is that the people decide who their leadership should be -- and it seems that, now, this is possible in Egypt.

For those worried about a 'religious' group coming into power, I ask, how would this be any different than, say, an Evangelical religious person in the Whitehouse?  How could it be any worse than having a dictator (Mubarak) in power?

Are people worried that Christians may be oppressed?  I hope it works both ways and the same people are aware and feel just as concerned about the oppression of other peoples (especially those oppressed in the supposed 'Land of the Free').  Those who live in glass houses, and all ;)

Justice, Peace and success to the people of Egypt!
