Heather Hurlburt about the Revolution in Egypt

Lilly Rivlin signaled in an eMail today a very interesting column in The New Republic. The author is Heather Hurlburt, the Executive Director of the National Security Network. She discusses five things: revolutions often erupt with little warning; watch the Egyptian military (they will ultimately, though perhaps not today, make the decisive difference); America can’t stop this revolt; who will be in charge after Mubarak; the Islamic Menace is overblown. You can read the whole article at:

And two images sent also by Lilly Rivlin. Rioters, soldiers and police will eventually fraternize and that will be the end. But, asks Lilly, how many kisses will it take to turn the Egyptian police and soldiers around?
