we spent time with two young men, both in their 30s, omar and ahmed. they're typical of the vanguard of the protesters. they have been there just about every day taking part in the protests. one of them had a wounded hand, bandaged because he had picked up a tear gas canister and thrown it back at police back sometime last week. we were with them as they listened to the speech hanging on every word like so many others in the crowd. and when it was over, they were just bitterly disappointed and feeling betrayed by what president mubarak had said. >> really frustrating. because millions are here. we're waiting to hear good news and yet he's not giving it to them, with no reason but to preserve his military pride. >> this dictator is remaining in our country, and tomorrow there will be a very, very big march that is going to be held and, yet, we are calm, we are peaceful. when, mubarak, are you going to provoke us? till when? >> reporter: the protests have been peaceful, but now there are many people in the square who are predicting there could be some ki
