It's official, he has gone.
The military is now in power and will be ruling things.

For a Government to reform, there almost always has to be a time of chaos or martial law....whether or not it ends up the exact same way it was before just tends to on how things settle....

Both houses of Parliament have been suspended, the entire cabinet has been fired and Farouk Sultan, who is their equivalent of the chief justice of the Supreme Court, will be the ruling leader.

This might not be that great of an idea, in reality. Yes, he needed to leave power and Egypt needs a leader who is for the people and not a dictator....but sometimes the WORST thing you can have happen is when the dictator basically says "peace out" and leaves the military in charge.
He should have stayed in office until a replacement was found. Just to keep some kind of stability. Because now, Mubarek's supporters are likely going to respond with violent attacks, and with no leader in place, nobody really knows how the military is going to respond.
Based on the fact that the anti-Mubarek protesters were not using violence, and the Pro-Mubarek supporters are likely to use violence....keeping Mubarek in power until an election was held and a fair successor was put into place......things could get really ugly real fast in Egypt.

The military has sided with the people. That's all well and good right now while everything is calm. But, God forbid, we start seeing terrorist attacks and violent protests, the entire scene could turn into a war zone. And in situations like that, we've seen times when a military might not exactly handle it the right way and this could turn into a case where the military comes in and basically massacre's both sides just to stop the madness. I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see the radical Mubarek supporters just letting this go and not putting up a fight.

I really hope it doesn't turn into a massacre after all this.

No. One, Egypt was not the one keeping the entire middle east from attacking Israel. Second, they can defend themselves. They have no problem going in and killing civilians because you spelled their name Isreal.

Israel is very sensitive. I was saying how bomb happy they are. Something simple as misspelling their name will get them to plan/execute an attack. It's ridiculous.

It's ridiculous. gotcha, miscommunication. its going to be interesting to see what/who ends up in power for the long term in egypt especially being in such a hostile region and constant talks of the muslim brotherhood trying to get in there.

There is so much disinformation about the Muslim Brotherhood.
They are not even close to being as evil as the media wants to make them out to be.
Honestly, I would not be surprised if they put in a guy and in a couple months he is out.
