The celebration is no doubt premature. I hope the people of Egypt get a stable, humanitarian government soon, but their future is still in doubt. I pray for them.

So do I.

Getting rid of Mubarak could be considered the first and easiest step...now the people of Egypt are going to have to fight for their country and their future like never before.

Personally, I have grave concerns. Mubarak is a tyrant who has inflicted much pain on his country and his people....but I worry now about the vacuum left and what or who will fill that vacuum come September...

The Middle East is not the Western World and the two will never resemble each other. We have to remember that.

Your concerns are valid.
