From Denny: The Egyptian people are still walking ten feet off the ground today as they begin the process of getting back to work. There are those still protesting in the Tahrir Square, afraid the military may not make good on their promises to meet the Revolution demands.

Already the military is moving to establish order, calm the world about peace agreements and begin the process to create political parties and elections. They have dismissed Parliament and are reshuffling government management.  Read that as they are sifting out the nepotism posts.

America continues to enjoy a good relationship with the Egyptian military so chances are Obama - or at least the Pentagon - will be kept in the loop on information as it develops in Egypt. Hopefully, all the established democracies in the world are offering help, assistance, ideas on how to get Egypt on track quickly to their own version of a democracy.

Meanwhile, there is the thorny issue of whether to prosecute Mubarak and others in his administration for theft of national funds or crimes committed under the thoroughly hated and feared Emergency Law. After all, there are still present the 350,000 Secret Police that have savaged the 80 million people for 30 years.

Mubarak has been informed not to leave the country. His funds have been frozen by Swiss banks but Mubarak is cagey and squirreled away monies all over the world - some probably right here in America. Obama says he is doing a thorough investigation into whether Mubarak has funds here, probably since I brought it up in a post the other day.

Yeah, they read me at the White House, at the Pentagon and in the world intelligence community for the same reason my father's precious CIA guys used to listen to me: to see how much their BS is believed or not. Obviously, not for the right reason of doing the right and honorable thing toward the people of America or the world. Oh, well, guess when the time comes for them to meet St. Peter at The Pearly Gates they can't tell God that no one counseled them with The Truth.

It is amazing how leaders in the government, the military and the intelligence communities really make life hard on themselves and everyone around them. If they just swept aside their bloated egos, quit with the cover-ups to protect their pride, life could be so simple and a lot healthier and more prosperous for everyone.

32 Yet More Egypt Revolt Cartoons: World Prism Views

From Denny: The Egyptian people continue their hard struggle toward a free and open democracy. The protesters have this much time and effort invested in pushing out a corrupt leader they might as well go the distance and finish the job.

Have you ever noticed when a world event like this takes place that the surrounding observer nations all view the event from their own prism of concerns, wants and needs? Everyone is looking at this Egypt Revolt as "What's in it for me?" instead of the more compassionate and wise approach of "What is best for the Egyptian people?"

World leaders and Big Business place their concerns as to how much oil is going to cost us. Journalists worry about whether their freedom of speech is hampered. Political analysts speak with one voice, wailing and crying loudly, "Oh, Egypt is going to the dogs! Terrorists, the Muslim Brotherhood, will gain control of the government and the world!"

The Think Tank people worry about Egyptian foreign policy and how to angle it to America's advantage. Religious extremists try to gain control so they can be the ones running the dictatorship and stashing billions of American dollars away in Swiss bank accounts just like Mubarek did.

Other Islamic leaders in the Middle East are sweating bullets of fear, terrified they will be put out of power too, just like the Tunisian leader got chased off.  Meanwhile, Mubarek stalls for time as he moves his stolen money into accounts around the world other governments and the protesters cannot discover.

Over almost 30 years, American taxpayers have given their hard-earned money to Mubarek to the tune of at least $60 billion. It's an obscenity.  There are plenty of school children right here in America, millions of them, who could use updated textbooks and a college education.  Instead, American presidents, to the tune of five of them now, have wasted our money by allowing dictators to pocket it.  The least our presidents could have done is see to it those billions of dollars went to alleviating poverty in Egypt.

Americans would have felt at least the money went to the good of the people instead of getting wasted on excessive indulgences of the Mubarek family who are all billionaires.  I want my money returned to America  Put me on the board of foreign aid and I'll see to it that it is spend appropriately and wisely.  Isn't it time we American voters quit allowing uncaring people to run our government, whichever political party?
