This morning as I was digesting the information about Mubarak stepping down in Egypt and watching the jubilation of the citizens of that country, I started imaging the possibility of a free and open election - complete with scenes of long lines of people reveling in the culmination of a movement that finally gave them a voice. At that point, my mind wandered to similar scenes from South Africa in 1994. Remember watching this?
Imagine my surprise in being reminded that February 11th was also the date that changed things in South Africa. It came in 1990...
And now the same date sees the same kind of victory for the people of Egypt.
