It matters not what Chomsky said, nor what Žižek wrote (they are right, as usual, but the news is what you should be looking at this moment). Listen to the sound of triumph on the streets for yourself. Yes we need to be realistic to know that this does not mean that all struggles will cease immediately. The reforms are going to happen one step at a time. For now the time is theirs: the crowd in Tahrir Square, the persistent faces on every street of Cairo and Alexandria and elsewhere in Egypt, and people everywhere who pushed for this transition. The way you look tonight, Egypt. Inshallah.
