"There will be plenty of time for pessimism of the intellect. Now is a moment to celebrate the optimism of the will, so dramatically and inspiringly demonstrated by the throngs in Cairo's Tahrir Square and other cities across Egypt. The pro-democracy crowds have awakened hope, a sense of possibility, and that -- not Husni Mubarak's resignation from the presidency -- is their revolutionary act. "
