Demonstrations against the Shah began in January 1978.[7] Between August and December 1978 strikes and demonstrations paralyzed the country. The Shah left Iran for exile in mid-January 1979, and in the resulting power vacuum two weeks later Ayatollah Khomeini returned to Tehran to a greeting by several million Iranians.[8] The royal regime collapsed shortly after on February 11 when guerrillas and rebel troops overwhelmed troops loyal to the Shah in armed street fighting. Iran voted by national referendum to become an Islamic Republic on April 1, 1979,[9] and to approve a new theocratic constitution whereby Khomeini became Supreme Leader of the country, in December 1979.[/quote

Perhaps he was wishfully thinking that his speech would go over well, was taken aback at the response and fled as most of these types seem to do? Time will tell.luke wilson said:mkrnhr said:why today and not yesterday? Is it related to the date? 11/2/11? Someone told him to do so?
Yah weird. What changed in the space of less than 24hrs? Yesterday he was like he wont be dictated upon, that he would die before going. Now, he has left. HA!!!!
Maybe Obama called him up and shouted at him or something. Or maybe it is due to some cultish things? Cosmic allignments? Who knows, thank God he is gone now. Him and his billions worth of wealth. Hopefully he took the whole snake with him aswell. I look forward to seeing a new and resurgent egypt. I might be jumping the gun...
Mubarak in Life/Death State in Germany Hospital
We have learned through foreign sources that Hosni Mubarak was flown this morning to a Baden hospital in Germany after falling into a coma. The report was confirmed this morning by Bahrain daily Al Wasat who indicated that just prior to leaving for his resort in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Mubarak became comatose.
Apparently, prior to delivering his last speech on national Egyptian television, we also learned that Mubarak had fainted. This is the explanation given for the delay between the announcement of his anticipated speech and his actual appearance several hours later.
His fragile state of health was also cited as the reason for which the army did not insist that he leave earlier.
Beginning on January 25th, 2011, Egypt witnessed massive popular protests calling for the end of its dictatorship regime, starting with the resignation of Mubarak.
Last year, we reported that Hosni Mubarak had been hospitalized in Germany for gall bladder surgery, but it was also revealed that the Egyptian President suffered from terminal cancer.

Mubarak Mystery: In Egypt, In Germany, In Coma?
Many aspects of Hosni Mubarak's life - from his health to his wealth to his daily whereabouts - were closely guarded secrets during his nearly 30 years as president of Egypt. After being ousted from office last week, not much has changed.
The Egyptian daily Al-Masry Al-Youm reported Sunday that Mubarak had slipped into a coma. The paper repeated rumors that the 83-year-old former head-of-state also fainted twice during his infamous I-won't-quit speech last week, delivered just a day before he did indeed step down.
Another report, from an Israeli French-language magazine named JSS News, claims that Mubarak was on death's door in a hospital in Baden, Germany. Mubarak has long been rumored to be suffering from cancer, and JSS News claims that he is already in the terminal phase of his cancer suffering.
Despite these rumors, an Obama administration official told a reporter at the Washington Post Sunday they believed he was actually in the seaside resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh, where he has long had a private residence. Egypt's prime minister also supported this report.
Still, several locals in Sharm el-Sheikh also told the Post they believe that, while he did immediately flee for the resort town after resigning, he quickly boarded a plane for Abu Dhabi and then continued on to Germany.
For their part, the Germans call this theory nonsense.
"He's not in Germany, and he's not on his way," Steffen Seibert, the chief spokesman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel, said Sunday night, according to the Post. "This is a new round of rumors. There is absolutely no information that we have about this, and it would require him a visa to come here. So presumably we would know."
If Mubarak is indeed gravely ill, there is still uncertainty about how he would pay for medical treatment.
Widely rumored to have accumulated billions of dollars in personal wealth during his presidency, Switzerland announced after Mubarak stepped down that it had frozen his and his family's assets in their banks.
