I am not quite sure what to say. I really thought Mubarak would step down. But no, he has got a stubborn streak greater than mine and he's sticking in there until September.
I don't think I've been this shaken by a news event since 911; I am upset, concerned and fearful for how poor Egypt is going to cope with this over the coming days, weeks and months.
So tonight, as the Muslim Egyptians head into their day of prayer, I pray with them for peace, compassion, progressive change and understanding throughout the country. Let us pray that Egypt does not erupt, that no more lives are lost, and that their positive exciting future is not marred by a bloody, horrific period of change.
