Cairo: Now what? Go home or take the palace?

Ok, we've seen millions in Liberation Square in more than week of demonstrations. Earlier in the week the people demanded Mubarak leave. He said "FU, I'll leave when I want, oh yeah here's another thug to rule in my place."

Today was the Day Of Departure, but guess what, he's still there.

What's next for the people, more demonstrations? "Demonstrating" what, that they can stand there till September, when one thug takes the other's place?

They are going to have to leave the square. They can either go home or go to the palace en masse. If a revolution will happen, thanks to Mubarak and others, it will unfortunately not be bloodless as once hoped earlier.

Don't give up Egyptians, millions are standing by to follow your lead. If you fail to go TAKE your freedom, they'll never fight for theirs. BOTH SIDES ARE WATCHING.

I view Sulieman more or less exactly as Mubarak, and I'm pretty sure the Egyptian people and the military are probably on the same page with that assessment.

Mubarak screwed up when he sent in his thugs, even if they had managed to storm the square they would never have been able to hold it. The best thing Mubarak could have done would have been absolutely nothing. As long as the protest remains in the square and doesn't threaten any goverment institutions let them be - then, when the country starts to fall appart in a few weeks, blame it on the protesters.

As long as the revolution doesn't have a leadership and is reluctant to fight the regime can hang on. I had thought that the protesters would have realized that time does not neccessarily work for them and marched on the presidential palace today. Not neccessarily to storm it a'la St.Petersburg but rather to show that they might...
