Mohamed ElBaradei: Egypt's president-in-waiting?

As head of the International Atomic Energy Agency for 12 years — the UN group that promotes and monitors the peaceful use of nuclear energy — Mohamed ElBaradei gained considerable credibility and media exposure in the West.
In so doing, he also proved to be a thorn in the side of the George W. Bush administration
ElBaradei was one of the first, and one of the most prominent, public officials to question the invasion of Iraq and the motivation behind it.
Tens of thousands of Egyptians ignored the nighttime curfew and took to the streets of Cairo for another day of protests, setting fire to police vehicles and the ruling party's headquarters.
A population generally viewed as being apathetic seems to have finally found its strong political voice.
But with President Mubarak's recent pronouncements unlikely to quench the thirst for change displayed on the streets, the outcome of Egypt's protests remains to be seen.

CAIRO | Sat Jan 29, 2011 9:18am EST
CAIRO (Reuters) - Thousands of angry Egyptians rallied in central Cairo on Saturday to demand that President Hosni Mubarak resign, dismissing his offer of dialogue and calling on troops to come over to their side. Clashes between police and demonstrators broke out in the port city of Alexandria, the fifth day of unprecedented protests against Mubarak's 30-year-rule.
The president ordered troops and tanks into Cairo and other cities overnight and imposed a curfew in a bid to quell unrest in which dozens of people were killed. It looked increasingly as if the army held the key to the nation's future.
In an effort to appease the protesters, he dismissed his cabinet and said he would listen to their demands of reform.
