Let's just enjoy this day to celebrate, eh? I am reminded of my own signature tune here....
The people who did not want the change are very much in the tiny minority in that country, the only people who really benefitted from the regime were the police force and some very crook judges, I would not want to be any of them now! Just now I was skyping with some friends outside Alexandria whose business dealings with Cairo was suffering during the demonstrations and who were very worried about everything and now they can hardly believe it was successful, and are deliriously happy - to rain on their parade with worrying without knowing the determination of the people now, no, I won't do it or hear of it.
These people have often simply not dared to hope that anything could change, to have freedom now is incredible. And, the good thing in this case is that alcohol is not an issue in Egypt, fights don't break out there because people are drunk and out of control, if they do, again, they are in the minority - this was a sober revolution, the thoughts what to do with their future will also be sober and optimistic, not a bad state to be in.
Also the influence of well educated middle class people and business people is felt here, people will want to enhance their prospects, not thrash them. Before long they will insist on freedoms like buying and selling on the internet for example, of making permissions to phone connections to other countries available to all, freedoms we take for granted, they know about all these things that have been stopped in the past, and they want them. Yes, there will be hiccups for sure and nothing is ever plain sailing, but any future person in charge will know that he will be watched very carefully. If there was any time when there were grounds for hope for improvement within at least society onour planet, this is it.
