What next in Egypt

I am kind of surprised about Egyptian euphoria. What is the reason for such a rejoice. Was Mubarack only responsible for all the authoratarian rule. Is that regime really gone or just replaced by another regime? They are still ruled by military. What is guarantee that this regime will be better than Mubarak's regime.. There is say in India: "Asman se tapke, khajoor mein atke". In English, it means that "You get stuck in Palm tree after falling from sky".  I feel that is what is happening over there. or may be not.. I guess everything falls down to money money money..
Here is what I found in last couple of days. Egypt's economy is dependent on International Tourism big time. Egypt's Military is involved in lot of consumer durable manufacturing goods and owns lot of business. One and Half billion USD aid which US used to give to Egypt which was suppose to go to Military was mostly spend on Police force and corruption in Regime. Given all this, I think it will be in everyone's interest to get credible government in there. Have a peaceful and trust worthy regime.. Moreover, after such a massive revolution, no military can stand for long time. I think it may still be rough patch for Egypt's population but ultimately they will get it.

Once it happens, it will be really interesting to see it's impact on rest of the middle east. All the best Egypt.. Keep Pyramids safe.. I am yet to see them :-)

Really happy to see significant progress in Egypt. It happened so easily and silently given all the tragedy going on in Japan and drama in rest of the Arab world.. I really liked it and it enforced bigger and greater respect for "People's Revolution".

We all should learn messages from this and encourage everyone every country where possible for true form of democracy.. Slowly my belief in Napoleon's famous say "let fools fight for the form of government.. whatever works is best for country" is fading away.. I am leaning more and more towards "True and Pure form of Democracy" as the best form of government. It may have some hiccups here and there but ultimately it is best form of government we got!!
