1811: BBC world affairs editor John Simpson, in Cairo, says: "Within the last half hour, the heavy battle outside the Egyptian museum between pro- and anti-government demonstrators has ended. Rather unexpectedly, the confrontation seems to have been won by the pro-democracy protesters. All through the day they have been under attack by supporters of President Mubarak, and this represents an important turnaround in the situation. The opposition has now regained control of Tahrir Square, the centre of the last nine days of protests."

1. YES!!!

For all the weapons, coordination and brutality by the pro-Mubarak protesters secret police, they are heavily outnumbered. Yesterday, the crowds of anti-Mubarak protesters numbered close to two million, IIRC, so even with sticks, horses and molotov cocktails, they're not guaranteed victory!

KEEP FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM, EGYPT!!! DON'T STOP UNTIL MUBARAK'S HEAD IS ON A PIKE!!!
