In an interesting development the Egyptian Military is vowing not to use force to violently quell the populace.
Did they just give the go-ahead to oust Mubarek? Some would say so. With the Army intending to sit this one out and let the people have their way, now would be the time.
Considering Mubarek's new cabinet appointments, which include a torutrer and an organized criminal, it seems as if Mubarek is gearing up for some democracy stomping. It takes nerves of steel to crack down in the face of flaring uprising.

That lack of squeamishness has yet to characterize Mubarak’s response to the protests. Mubarak wants to hold on to power, and so he’s not yet engaged in a bloodletting. But dissidents are calling for a general strike and a million-strong protest march Tuesday to force Mubarak out. With his new security officials in place, Mubarak would be well-positioned to crack down.
Is Egypt a preview of what to expect in the USA? Stay tuned.
