All over the globe, millions watched as thousands of young Egytians call for Hosni Mubarak to resign as President of Egypt. This peaceful demonstration began January 25when a crowds began to move to Tahrir square to protest against Mubarak. The next day more people came to protest. This mainly peaceful demonstration lasted 18 days, then today February 11, 2011 Mubarak resigned as president.

Millions of Egyptians are celebrating and chanting "The people have toppled the regime." Watching Egypt celebrate I am absolutely overjoyed. Their victory is my victory. In 18 days, these young people toppled a regime through peaceful demonstrations! How powerful is that? I am truly inspired. The people in Egypt have exemplified that the will of people is the strongest force on the planet.
