In the end it was President Hosni Mubarak who proved the truth of the crude joke that “denial” is the name of a river in Egypt. With peaceful change impossible, US President John F. Kennedy said, violent revolution is inevitable. With no obvious leader or political vision, Egypt’s peaceful, youth-led mass social uprising dethroned an entrenched dictator and his heir apparent son in a mere 18 days.
