7. What do people on the ground in Cairo think is going to happen now? (Directly contact reporters and bloggers in Egypt via Twitter during this class period).

Right now there is much celebration going in Cairo.  People are rejoicing in the fact that their protests worked and that Mubarak stepped down.  They now however have to reform their government and work with the military to decide on what to do. The people want the state of emergency to be rescinded. The people want the constitution to be amended, so that future elections are free and fair.  They do not want another dictatorship. It will be a process to move towards this democracy, but Egypt is on the right track.
