As I write I am watching NBC Foreign Correspondent Richard Engle -- who obviously is exhausted and who I am nominating for a Pulitzer Prize in journalism, if he hasn't already won one, as Richard describes the revolution that is occurring in the capital of Egypt right now. Remember that Egypt is the "cradle of civilization."
It appears that the forces protesting an oppressive government are winning. I hope so. The pro-democracy forces have repelled the goon squads of Muhbarik -- hired muscle -- for a day. It is five in the morning and gunfire, to intimidate, is occurring. Some of it has hit people. It is tense and scary.
I pray for the pro-democracy protesters. They will be the new government of Egypt. I pray they will construct a just and truly democratic government.
