Mubarek refuses to step down...

If it wasn't costing people's lives, I could almost admire his cussedness.
Peron clinged to power like this, oblivious and without dignity but stubborn in defense of his right to wield the whip right to the last.
Still, there is a vacuum here and politics abhors a vacuum, I doubt it would take much more than a company of well motivated Egyptian infantry to enter Mubarek's hide out take him by the elbow and hustle him to the nearest airfield and a splendid exile in Madrid.
Who'd stop them?
No one I'd wager.
We are past endgame with this guy, the question in my mind is, can we deal with whatever and whoever comes after him?
