victory for the Egyptians and for the internet!

This is extraordinary, what the Egyptian people have accomplished today.  With the help of the internet popular uprisings against dictatorship may be trasformed forever.  Can we even hope for and end of war?  The more real information people have and ease of communication with each other creates, in my opinion, the possibility of fairness of government and economy for the majority of people world wide.  This also allows more voices in on the converstion about future forms of democracy.  Democracy is a process and everywhere it is parcticed today can and needs to be improved upon.  The Egyptian people will now be able to start making contributions to this effort as they form their own government with real representation.  I am thrilled that I lived to see this happen and hope the best for them.   Will their artists now try to capture this historical moment?  I'm sure they will.  Wonderful.
