Egypt is off the Internet

Web traffic to Egypt (Pic via Arbor Networks)
As of last night Egypt has apparently completely unplugged itself from the internet in order to prevent people from using it as a tool to organize their protest against president Mubarak (in office for the past 30 years). Basically the country is cut off from the world.

    Is there anymore powerful force on the planet that can be used for the spread of democracy than the good old internet? I think not!
