They thought they were on the crest of the revolution yesterday. Hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets for more than two weeks shouting "go away" to President Mubarak, but then he came on TV last night and told them he's not budging.

    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.
