Egypt Makes a Case for Regime Change

February 12, 2011

According to the Financial Times:

Egypt's president Hosni Mubarak announced on Friday he was stepping down and handing power to the military after an 18-day protest ended his 30-year rule.

Crowds across the country erupted in deafening cheers and chanted "God is great" after the president of 30 years made his statement after an 18-day-old revolt and mounting international pressure for him to step down.

Consequently, an Iranian friend noted on Facebook:

So, now that Regime Change is no longer equated to war and destruction (as in Iraq), can we please go about achieving the same in Iran? No more talk of reform, no more negotiations, no more appeasing the barbaric theocrats in Tehran. Regime Change - an ABSOLUTE end to the Islamic Republic!

Ditto on Cuba.
