I bet you'll be saying the exact same phrase in May, if you swap Hosni Mubarak for Alex Salmond...
"We're today's scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrow's double feature
Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell
It's a twenty-four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell
And the streets are full of press men
Bent on getting hung and buried
And the legendary curtains are drawn 'round Baby Bankrupt
Who sucks you while you're sleeping
It's the theatre of financiers
Count them, fifty 'round a table
White and dressed to kill."
David Bowie - We Are The Dead (1974)

That number has been artificially kept down by the current regime. Whatever the name of the movement, history has shown that when you have a movement of young, unemployed, suppressed, relatively highly-educated muslims that is suddenly left in a sudden political vacuum; bad things can happen. The secular political forces are not ready for prime time. Looks too much like Iran.

- Most, if not all, Egyption muslims are of the Sunni persuasion, rather than Shia.
- There's, to the best of my knowledge, no religious leader in exile waiting to take over power.
BTW, I congratulate the People of Egypt with their fine victory. Which country is next?

I wish my boss had a quarter of Mubarak's understanding and compassion when it comes to dealing with dissent in the ranks...
Reports coming in suggest that Mubarak has fallen in to a coma and been airlifted to a hospital in Germany.

What are frail? Spring blossoms and youth;
What are deep? The ocean and truth.

Since losing power he has become depressed, and is refusing to take his medication. He has also had a fight with his wife and son, blaming them for his downfall.

Now some sources are saying that news of Mubarak's death could 'come at any time'.
His health is said to be deteriorating rapidly, he is refusing medication, and refusing to have his ailments treated abroad because he wants to die in Egypt.
In reality, he probably wants to die before he can be prosecuted, or wants to be 'ill' in order to avoid prosecution.
