Cairenes
Has anyone else been following the events in Tahrir Square in Cairo? I've found it quite engaging.

Hosni's an ex-dictator.
I'm worried about islamist groups (Muslim Brotherhood) filling the power vacuum.

It is fascinating ... but also a bit worrisome. Will the next leadership maintain peace with Israel or will we resume to the episodes of all out war ... and one has to wonder when and if one day such wars may be nuclear? Hopefully not, but it's a region that's hard to have confidence in.

Not at all. I'm confident that, if faced with final defeat, Israel will elect for a nuclear Masada.

It'll drop the heating bill for a few weeks.

I could have sworn the end of days included fire. Not pretty green night lights.
