I'm with you, but I'm going to wait to cheer until I see what's put in his place. As it stands and as I understand it, their law of succession to the president doesn't include the military. If I recall, it goes to the vice president and then to the Speaker of Parliament

One marvels at the bravery of the people to work through all the tricks thrown at them and one is amazed at the peaceful process that was used for this revolution beginning with the internet. The joy of the Egyptian people covered in the news right now is very moving and uplifting; it is felt around the world.

(Note, Pres Obama speaks at 1:30est. EDIT: now moved to 3pm)

We will wait and see how the army works.

But this is only a temp transitional phase, until democtratic elections are conducted.

Most seem to trust the military to be transitional order only. The people in the square are shaking the hands of the military and carrying them on shoulders; children are kissing them!.

Okay, call me pessimistic but what if that never happens? Will riots resume? Are Egyptian citizens willing to fight a highly armed militia?

Why would the army go through the trouble of suppressing protesters now when it refused to do so once presented with the option with a given alibi previously?

It does seem to me that military control is a perfect reciepe for the rise of a dictator. It's like Mubarak's final gift to Egypt.

But someone had to be in temporary control, and they didn't want the VP.

Not asking questions when they need to be asked is what has gotten many countries into trouble.

I do agree. Kind of like "You thought I was a dictator..."

Exactly! :D
The army supports the people. And no one right now would dare to go through troubles with them.

You have no idea what it means to destroy a regime that has been supessing people for 30 years or more. The people's spirit can not be described.

The Army's benifit is to support the streets.
