Friday will be a pivotal day for the protests in Egypt. It now appears that Hosni Mubarak has no plans to end his reign of power and the defiant speech by the dictator sets the stage for a possible violent confrontation between the protesters, the military, and Mubarak security forces. The defiant stance by Mubarak is a shrewd and calculated move to incite the peaceful protesters to resort to violence. If this happens it will give Mubarak security forces an excuse to open fire on the protesters.
Although most of the main stream media political pundits are not discussing the possibility, if this happens, it can open the door for a possible civil war to erupt between the military and civilian protestors fighting Mubarak security forces.
