2011|Calm Prevails in Cairo; Mubarak Pressured to Go

2010|Egypt

Two days of savage fighting protesters and government supporters that killed 11 people this week in the U.S. has led me to conclude that in Egypt Mubarak at the helm of a potentially unstable without him.

Instead of running battles with protesters to arrive at Tahrir Square Friday morning found the smiling soldiers with the opposition, the organizers have set up roadblocks so no mob came in, CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer reports.

And if there was no doubt which way the military was when a group of Mubarak supporters remained outside looking in, prevented the tanks. Last Friday, the square seemed the safest place in Cairo without a party.

But at the end of the day, the protesters got what they wanted. Mubarak was still in power.

"The guy is like Spider-Man," a protester said Palmer. "He has no intention of letting go. We need to drive faster."
