really? because i think here s where we were. we were under an incredibly cruel man who had pulverized the life of egypt. so i look forward to what egypt will spawn by way of politics and culture. and i think everything looks better than what this man had in store for them. i kind of agree with you. it feels like people have underestimated egypt for 18 days and underestimated these protestors each step, ringing their hands saying, this a bad, this is bad, slow down, slow down. and yet egyptians have something else in mind. and then there are these people who are second guessing the egyptians. and i think many in our own country. this is a real moral embarrassment in this country. many are second guessing the egyptians, will they create decent politics? will they fall into a theocracy? will they break peace with israel? will they do this? will they squander the kind of freedom and new order they have gained?
for me, for every egyptian. a sense of emancipation of the whole egyptian people. and for the first time, egypt has a chance to be democratic, to be free. egyptians have a sense of dignity, of freedom. it s amazing. it s like 180 degrees. something we never experienced in our lifetime. one egyptian put it simple, most people have discovered in the last few days that they are worth something. and this cannot be taken away from them anymore. there s a feeling of euphoria down here. [ horns honking ] i m so excited. i can hardly hear what you re saying, so i m just going to give them a chance to talk. i am very happy now.
today, revolution is what we witnessed. a long ruling dictator driven from power and a long oppressed people celebrating in the streets, in that square, waving their country s flags, honking horns, tasting freedom for the first time. the egyptian people are demanding democracy. whether they get it, they are demanding it. right now, today, old egypt is dead. a new egypt is born. translator: president hosni mubarak has decided to step down as president of egypt. and has assigned the higher council of the armed forces to run the affairs of the country.
