We in india know the non violent movements could be frustrating and slow to yield results. But Gandhi Mandela and now tunisians and egyptians prove thatthis is the only effective way. Himanshu India

If Mubarak does not have hidden agenda... Why is he refusing the people voice. Of course the military has reached an unspoken strategy. They will support Mubarak for as long as possible. However once the demonstration gets critically uglier... the army will openly ask him to go. It is now up to the people to seriously increase the pressure. Christo from New Zealand.
