Egypt Rising!! (Uprising that is)

Well unless you live under a rock or perhaps the far reaches of the Amazon or maybe the south Pacific...you probably know that the sh*t hit the fan recently politically in Egypt. People have taken to the streets protesting the government and more specifically the lack thereof. the army was called in to quell the uprising and a new set of ministers are being groomed to take over for departing president Mubarak.
Mubarak, who has ruled the country for nearly 30 years, has said he will not run in the September presidential election, but protesters are pushing for rapid change.

CBC's Nahlah Ayed said some of the protesters were also checking bags and identifications.
"Both the protesters and the army are taking an active interest in keeping things secure here," Ayed said.
The rally was largely peaceful, and Ayed said there was an atmosphere of "excited tension" in the crowded square.
