Egyptian Democracy without American Soldiers

You had to feel good for the Egyptian people yesterday when Hosni Mubarak finally stepped down and opened the way for a Democratic society to be born. The great thing is that it was accomplished without the intervention of American troops and a very low number of casualties. Unlike the wars, that we have been fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Egyptian people accomplished this without outside interference. The people that lead the revolution did so without them creating casualties. It is a tragedy that over three hundred people lost their lives, due to the pro-Mubarak factions, but in a country of over 80 million people that is a relatively small number of deaths in order to restart a country's direction. The hard part of the Egyptian experiment will be what happens next and how quickly they move forward with a new Constitution. We should all be watching with great interest as Egypt move ahead and also what happens in the other Middle East countries that suffer under tyrannical rule.
