Egypt Has Crossed The Rubicon

The situation in Egypt is amazing. What people don’t understand is that for DECADES, any demonstrations in Egypt - no matter how small - was violently shut down by the riot police and Mubarak’s loyalists.

Now, all of a sudden, the riot police have started to stand down. Not only that, but the protesters outnumber the riot police for the first time since the 1960s.

Any “Middle East expert” who tells you they know what is going to happen next in Egypt is full of shit. But I do know this - Hosni Mubarak’s regime just slipped over the line of no return. But the big question we’re all wondering about is: What next?
