"Leader" of Egyptian revolution is no such thing

"Even now, everyone from grassroots activists to top intellectuals continues to insist that no leader is necessary. 'No, no, no, no. Not one person,' says Alaa Al Aswany, Egypt’s most acclaimed novelist, who has been aligned with the protest movement from the start. 'We’re not asking for a hero, you see?'
This notion is in keeping with the decentralized ethos of Internet organizing. And as Aswany points out, it made the movement a perfect foil to Mubarak’s entrenched and suffocating authority—“because the revolution was leaderless. That’s why the Mubarak regime couldn’t control it, right?” But it’s also a reflection of an animosity toward the very idea of a leader, stemming from a long history of corrupt autocrats. Many Egyptians hold this sentiment and share a reflexive suspicion of anyone who looks like they might be trying to take charge."

The media, in desperation to understand a leaderless revolution, tried to pin the title on Ghonim.  But as this article shows, he didn't want to be a leader, didn't think the movement needed a leader, and has never acted in any way to take such a position.  In certain projects, there really is no need for a leader.
