We now have witnessed 32 years of evidence on how dreadfully awful THAT turned out for the people of Iran.
I hope and pray that the Muslim Brotherhood (see earlier post here) doesn't get a foothold in Egypt. That would be a VERY BAD OUTCOME.
Here are some blog posts on the announcement:

The next step is Obama brokering or at least claiming credit for the formation of a coalition government. This new coalition will include the Muslim Brotherhood, who will then seize control.
Iran redux.

Mubarak has resigned. He was never quite as good as Sadat, but he was much better than Nasser. He's leaving office vertically, not horizontally, after 30 years, so he has no need to complain.
Okay, he's gone. That's the good news.
The bad news is that leaves a power vacuum in Egypt, and despite your fears of the Muslim Brotherhood, the only one able to fill that gap right now is the army. That's what you'd better worry about.
Who controls the army controls the nation. That's an ancient maxim, and pretty near universal. In far too many nations, at far too many times, the army is the only thing holding back chaos. (Sometimes, to maintain their control, armies have been known to manufacture that chaos.)
If the leaders of Egypt's armed forces and its politicians want another war in the Middle East, it will happen no matter what the people want. If they do not, it won't happen, no matter what some Iranian politician wants.
Egypt and Persia have an enmity which long predates Islam; I don't see any current or future Egyptian leader jumping through an Iranian hoop.
It's just another day, Christine. The date is significant only because some people want it to be. December 25th is nothing special to much of the world, either.
