I’m far from qualified to make any intelligent comments on events in Egypt. The Egyptian revolution does seem to echo the largely peaceful street protests that led to the downfall of the Eastern European regimes in the late 1980s. I recently read (can’t remember exactly where) that the number of authoritarian regimes around the world has declined dramatically over the past few decades, so let’s hope that this is a continuation of that trend.
The Atlantic‘s new photography blog, In Focus, has some excellent pictures of the demonstrations.
