Great Moments in Leadership

Dueling headlines:
BIDEN: Mubarak's no dictator, shouldn't step down...

Egyptian President Mubarak asks Cabinet to resign...

Pwire adds this: Mubarak asks government to resign and pledges new government tomorrow, with him still in charge
Many folks are wondering if Mubarak will still be in Egypt when the sun rises tomorrow. He may be looking for a nice little exile getaway place.  If not, he could find himself crossing the River Styx a little sooner than he may have expected.

And for those who think this might be a great democratic movement, beware the example of Iran in 1979.  Like Egypt today both secular and Islamic forces combined to bring down the government, but the mad mullahs won control in Iran.  It could happen again in Egypt, and having another Islamic nuthouse right on Israel's border cannot be good.
