I think Darleen nailed it:
Sorry I haven’t posted anything on the Muslim uprisings in Egypt and elsewhere. I’m on the road, this weekend.

“Sorry I haven’t posted anything on the Muslim uprisings in Egypt and elsewhere. I’m on the road, this weekend.”
That’s OK – it’s early yet. Things need to settle down. The thing I noticed is that everyone seems to be rioting against Mubarak, and what he does, is fire the government.
This is known as “being without a clue”.
Another thing not covered by the news is the fate of Egypt’s antiquities. The Cairo Museum holds a lot of 5,000-year-old treasures. Early reports say that some of the museum’s holdings have been destroyed, but not many. Here’s a newslink:

Luckily, most of Egypt’s ancient treasures were taken out of the country decades ago, to rest in peace in British and German museums.
That headline: “Iranian leaders hoping for Islamic republic in Egypt” lets us wonder if the end result will be worse than it is now.
