4. If the Military steps down (or is defeated) do the Egyptian people

know who they would turn to? They've been such an inspiration to the world, and have accomplished so much, I'm hopeful that soon they will find peace and freedom. :(

5. The Egyptian revolution is not low on leaders.

There is zero need for them to turn to anyone but their own ranks. Lots of women, too.

ETA: Check out Mona Seif's Wiki, for example.

snip

Seif grew up in a family of activists, and activism was a constant topic of discussion in Mona's childhood. Her father, Ahmad Seif, is a human rights attorney who was imprisoned five years. During his detention, he was tortured. Her mother, Laila Soueif, is also an activist and a mathematics professor. She helped organize demonstrations against the Mubarak regime over the decades before his downfall. She was with a group of women assaulted by Mubarak thugs in 2005 where Mona's older brother, Alaa Abd El-Fatah, protected his mother breaking his arm. Her mother is known as, "brash and courageous, and has on numerous occasions faced down baton-wielding policemen with nothing but her scolding, scathing, booming voice and steely eyes".<3> Mona's brother Alaa is a programmer and popular internet activist. He and his wife, Manal, created the Egyptian blog aggregator Manalaa. From 2005 onward Alaa documented increasing abuses by the Mubarak regime. Alaa, was arrested at a demonstration in 2006 and imprisoned for 45 days. Mona and Manal helped organize a worldwide online campaign to free him. Mona's younger sister, Sanaa, is also involved in organizing protests.<3>

8. @occupyoakland has been retweeting a lot of Egypt updates

It's mixed in with Occupy Oakland's own news, of course, but I've found it a convenient way to monitor the situation in Egypt without having to follow half a dozen Twitter feeds myself.
