EU joins the clamor for "irreversible changes" in Egypt

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, said the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak, is "irreversible changes" that will lead the country "toward democracy." On a visit to a university in Louisville, Kentucky, Biden said the North African country is experiencing a "historic day", with the announcement of the resignation of Mubarak.

"It's a point of no return," he said. "We've been saying all along. The future of Egypt will be determined by the Egyptian people." The vice president said, in line with developments in Egypt that "using violence against peaceful demonstrators is unacceptable" and that "human rights must be respected." Biden's statements came just an hour before President Barack Obama make an official statement about the departure of Mubarak.
