It is very different. But can it last?
there is no end -game for these protests. There is no opposition party waiting in the wings, or no resistance force that can take power even temporarily ahead of some sort of elections. So these people are protesting, but the present Regime did their job well. There is no opposition organised against them. So should Mubarak(sp?) step down, there really is no one to simply step in and take his place. The police are now looting, and the security ministry agents are looting. Citizens caught several groups of them and they had police IDs. So the police have left the streets and have now taken on a different, more sinister role. If this goes past Monday the situation can turn ugly very quickly thereafter. You need food, you need water. The shops are closed. What are you going to do?
