Egypt: The Hazards of Making Predictions

My last blog entry consisted of predicting how long Mubarak would last. I had made a bet on this matter with my friend, Arnold. It's now clear that both Arnold and I lost, although Arnold came closer to what has transpired than I. Mubarak lasted longer than a week, but certainly less than a month and no where near to the end of the year.

I must also admit that I gave nowhere near the amount of credit the young people of Egypt deserve for bravely standing against Egyptian's totalitarianism. But, now, of course, the question is where is all this heading. Stay tuned.
