Well after 18 days of intense protest, the Egyptian people have finally got their wish. This historical morning, on Feb. 11th, the President of Egypt fled his country and publicly resigned his seat of power. So now the question is what will be next for Egypt. Hopefully the chaos will quickly quell and the people will find a transitional government that best suits their needs. Perhaps a stronger democracy that favors the lower and middle classes, or perhaps an Islamic state in the likes of Iran or Iraq. Hopefully peaceful diplomatic ties are continued with the United States. Nonetheless, it's always inspiring to watch the people unite against tyranny and injustice. This is quite an exciting and historic day for the Middle East!
