A Victory in Egypt?

As President Mubarak left Cairo today, it appears to be the first major victory for the protestors. Articles here and here. The process of restoring order in Egypt is far from over, but this is a step in the right direction. The period of transition that is starting to take place will offer its own unique challenges for the people of Egypt.

Meanwhile, Mubarak is reportedly staying in the coastal resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh located approximately 350 miles from Cairo. The Red Sea resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh is nicknamed "The City of Peace." Hopefully the name will hold true. After all of this time on the streets of Cairo, protesters may be ready for a vacation of their own.
