"Women and girls are beside boys in the streets. They are—and we are calling for justice, freedom and equality, and real democracy and a new constitution, no discrimination between men and women, no discrimination between Muslims and Christians, to change the system, to change the people who are governing us, the system and the people, and to have a real democracy. That’s what women are saying and what men are saying." http://www.democracynow.org/seo/2011/1/31/women_protest_alongside_men_in_egyptianThe various factions are fighting it out. One cannot predict anything; one can only foresee US taking advantage at its worst. Let's pray for least bloodshed. Read Robert Fisk too:

Hey Ranjana,
Who wudda thunk? I remember an article by Saira Shah, an ex-pat Afghan reported (back in 2001 or was it 2003) that the Arab world, middle east et al otta wake itself up. Others trying to infuse democracy can only work so much.
