Egyptian revolution: Now for the real thing.

10:30 pm
Cairo Egypt.

It's a real revolution.

• The square is beyond packed.
•  More experienced political leaders are emerging.
• Specific demands are being articulated, e.g. resignation of Field Marshall Tantawi.
• A million man protest has been called for tomorrow.
•  The civilian cabinet just resigned.
•  Rumors are afoot that younger members of the army are leaking information to protestors on how to protect themselves from a new version of tear gas.
• People are being killed left, right and center.
•   Martyrs accumulate.

What can the Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF) do?  How do you repress this size and this ignited  of a protest if you're not a Gaddifi or an Assad?  If the United States has provided you the arms that you'd have to do it with?
