Egypt's great patience

The political drama unfolding in Egypt is a great spectacle indeed. I just cannot imagine how come millions of people can hold a peaceful demonstration of protest. For everyone knows, that when such a large group gathers it only takes one fanatic or one idiotic statement or some inconsequential action to trigger an avalanche. Moreover such a large population cannot be moving in a particular direction for a particular reason with such unity without there being guiding forces behind the 'mob'. Whatever it be, I certainly appreciate the nerve of the people of Egypt for expressing their dissent in such a peaceful manner. It only shows that people can be disciplined and focussed on their goal even when angry and distressed.
