Update from this egyptian kid I met at Starbucks
well he was there on Monday.

We talked.

Demonstrations are now happening against the military. They have walked into places like the secret police headquarters and turned all those files to the Press... shades of East Germany. So we started talking on what it takes to create a democratic culture and build up civil society.

The reality is starting to set in as the exhilaration of the victory goes away. Oh and there has been some tension between the Coptic Church and the majority Muslim community. that scares some folks.
