Watch the great video above and see more of Banksy's works.

"Banksy is the elusive British bad-boy street artist and nominee for best documentary feature for his directing debut, "Exit Through the Gift Shop."

Will the artist who prefers to hide his face from public view suddenly turn ham and appear in front of a half-billion viewers? As the movie academy would put it, you're invited to find out." from CBS.com

Egypt's future? Egypt's past

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/feb/12/mubarak-egypt-roots-of-despotism
Extract: "The so-called Higher Military Council inspires no confidence. Does another military strongman lurk in the regime's entrails? I wonder if western leaders, shamed into moral bluster after being caught in flagrante with Mubarak, will, when we relax our vigils, tip the balance towards "stability" and against real change.

I grow a bit apprehensive too, recalling the words of an extraordinarily perceptive observer of Egypt's struggles in the past: "The edifice of despotic government totters to its fall. Strive so far as you can to destroy the foundations of this despotism, not to pluck up and cast out its individual agents."

Mubarak Steps down

The Egyptian people is jubilant.So am I! So are we!
PEACE and French wishes:Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!
