This day Friday February 11, 2011 is a great day: shortly after 6:00PM there was an announcement by the Vice President. After 18 days of peaceful protests, President of Egypt Mubarak for 30 years, finally steps down passing the power to the Army. A good lesson for leaders of authoritarian regimes everywhere. A reporter says that "Freedom is contagious", and sometime it needs "to be taken, not given".
American leaders suggest all along that government should rule "by consent not coercion", and that "Democracy must be real and elections must be truly free and fair".
Congratulations to the Egyptian people.
Lesson: Success of the Peaceful Revolution is because of the support of the Egyptian Police and Army.
