                        January when, it is now
                        clear, Mubarak ordered the Egyptian Third Army
                        to crush the
                        demonstrators in Tahrir Square with their tanks

                        tearing off their headsets – over which they had
                        received the fatal

                        it now transpires,
                        calling their own military families for advice.
                        Fathers who had spent
                        their lives serving the Egyptian army told their

                        demonstrations planned for

                        Washington, according to a senior Egyptian

                        to Robert Gates at the Pentagon. It must have
                        been a sobering moment.
                        For days, the White House had been grimly
                        observing the mass
                        demonstrations in Cairo, fearful that they would
                        turn into a mythical

                        victory for the West. American and European
                        leaders who rejoiced at the
                        fall of communist dictatorships have sat glumly
                        regarding the
                        extraordinary and wildly hopeful events in Cairo
                        – a victory of
                        morality over corruption and cruelty – with the
                        same enthusiasm as many
                        East European dictators watched the fall of
                        their Warsaw Pact nations.
