Egypt Revolution: Country On The Brink As Tanks Roll Into Cairo (Photos)

IN Egypt the protesters have responded to the presence of tanks on the streets and outside the main TV building in Cairo by climbing on them. This is no Tiananmen Square where the lone figure stood before the tanks symbolised the struggle for individuality against the machine. This is a revolution that might really happen. At one moment a soldier left his lines to go over to the crowd. They hoisted him high on their shoulders.

These mass protests against the three-decade rule of President Hosni Mubarak may yet achieve the change the protestors crave.
