Hilary was on an interview program talking about her interaction with the original Egyptian protest group. She tried (in vain) to get them to form a real political movement that could be a viable force in the coming elections. They were too factionalized and as a result the Muslim Brotherhood took power. The rest is history, unfortunately repeating itself…

A spokesman was on the BBC World News yesterday saying that President Morsi was going to relinquish some of his power when the new constitution is written.
The new constitution is pstterned after Sharia Law, however.
The violence in Tahrir square is supposedly unemployed young men, lashing out in frustration. That is what I read on the BBC website.

Back when I was a teenager, I had a cousin who was in the Air Force. He retired, and decided to travel.
He went on a cruise and ended up in Egypt when war broke out.
The year, 1967.

I think this is great!
.
They tossed the old boss, met the new boss, same as the old boss, they’re going to toss him too!
.
They’ll tip their hat to the new constitution, take a vow for the new revolution! But if that constitution don’t ring Pappa got a brand new bag!
.
They know what they want! They want to be one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all! The “under God” part they’d sort of rather do without! God is fine “over here” but not as the law of the land.
.
They look to Abu Dhabi and Qattar as a model for the future they want, even Turkey, not Iraq, or Afghanistan or Syria or the United States.
.
The genii is out of the bottle there. These people will find a way to make Egypt matter again.
.
You want to talk about a peoples with a proud history! Egyptians have evidence of their past right there. Just look at the Pyramids! How much more history could you ask for? Egyptians don’t want to be just another country, especially they don’t want to be a third world theocracy! Trust them, it’ll take time, but they are on the pathway!
.
It’s exciting to be able to watch.

In the US, 51% voted for Obama. The 49% who voted for Romney get nothing.
So Democracy is a terrible system. Or so said a Palestinian I know as well as Winston Churchill (but Churchill added a small exception I’ll skip).
The method claimed to be used in Dar al Islam is that everyone brings his position before the ruler in the majlis, and the ruler issues a decree that mollifies all parties. Of course, that’s not what happens. But then, the 99% don’t get much shrift in Christendom, either.
Almost everywhere, government is of, by, and for the 1%. Except where it’s of, by, and for the 0.1%.
