"...Having said that, I think basically for the last three or four weeks
the skeptics have been proven to be too skeptical. The naysayers who
said it could never happen, it's going to be violent, his departure
would mean the Muslim Brotherhood taking over or total chaos in the
streets of Egypt, they have been proven wrong. And the notion that the
Egyptian people have managed to pull off this democratic, peaceful
removal of a dictator, and now have a seemingly a pretty stable
situation in the streets of Cairo and the other big cities, with the
guarantee or at least a promise of a transition to free and fair elections and no real sense that those
elections are -- yet that the elections are going to go in some terrible
direction for the U.S. or for Egypt itself.
I think this may be a case where the normal worldly pessimism is too pessimistic and the normal cynicism is too cynical, and one has a right to actually be hopeful about these developments in Egypt."
