Egypt's Mubarak Orders Election Changes

Amazing is the word for the ripple effect that Iraq's election has had throughout the Middle East; PA, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and now Egypt.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Saturday ordered a revision of the country's
election laws and said multiple candidated could run in the nations presidential
elections, a scenario Mubarak hasn't faced since taking power in 1981.
These leaders are being pressured by more than a token number of their people into making democratic reforms. Iraq's election had a greater effect in a shorter period of time than almost anyone, including GW, could have imagined.
