The protests continue

The analysts say that Hosni Mubarak is planning to wait out the protests in Egypt, hoping that the protesters will lose stamina, average Egyptians will turn against them because of the disruptions or both.

But it is tough for me to believe that the protesters will give up — especially with record protests today. A change is coming, the only questions are when and what shape it will take. The end game, however, has to be of the Egyptians’ choosing.
