This is the headline on the main page for www.msnbc.com today, Feb 10th, 2011. It fills me with hope to see that ordinary citizens can effect political change even in undemocratic governments if there are enough of them, and if they speak loudly enough. I think the excuse that Mubarak stepping down will cause a vaccuum of power that will be exploited by Muslim extremists is simply a product of the xenophobia demonstrated by American Politicians. We have no faith in anyone other than ourselves to be able to functionally run a government. I think current events are proving us wrong...
