Obama says Egypt 'will never be the same'

In an address from the White House, President Obama said the "people of Egypt have spoken, their voices have been heard and Egypt will never be the same." He likened the relatively peaceful ouster of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to the fall of the Berlin Wall and to the advances of the American civil rights movement. Invoking the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, he said: "There's something in the soul that cries out for freedom. Those were the cries that came from Tahrir Square, and the entire world has taken it up."
