What does this revolution mean to non-Egyptians?

I am not Egyptian. I have no link to Egypt in any way, shape or form.  But I couldn't help but be so proud of this beautiful nation!  

The fine people of this nation have set an unprecedented example to other nations - This is how you protest for democracy! The blood that was shed, was unfortunate, but many will agree it was instigated by pro-Mubarak supporters probably paid in some way to do so. Those who remained peaceful and composed amazed millions around the world with their organisation and dedication to remaining peaceful.

I recall turning on my tv after a long night of protests and watching the young and old clean up the streets, directing traffic and setting up checkpoints. Would these be the images on TV if it had been Britain. The students protests against tuition fee hikes caused thousands of pounds of damage and not a single person was in sight the day after to attempt and clean the streets and I didn't see anyone stopping the others from breaking shop windows etc. However, our TVs were bombarded with images of anti-mubarak protesters physically holding back their fellow comrades when being pelted with stones!

As a non-Egyptian what does this revolution mean to me? The little people aren't as little as is liked to be believed! Mubarak for years oppressed and terrorised the people of this nation for 30 years yet within 18 days they had removed him. This is the strength of the people! No matter what any one tells you, you can make a difference. If your cause is just and if you are dedicated NOTHING can hold you back. InshaAllah (God Willing) all the tyrants of the world will be shaking in their boots, and rightfully so! The government should fear it's people because they are the key to their power.


God bless the Egyptian people for teaching us this most precious lesson.
