Even worse, when freedom or democracy is given to them, or earned by them, they usually revert back to an non-democratic system very quickly. We don't have to leave home to find an example of that. lol

Actually we should both be a little more precise and say that we lost a republic and in the losing became a democracy. Which brings up a question. Are our leaders promoting democracy around the world as a way to sow the seeds of socialism rather than freedom? It has struck me for some time that we have never heard our dear leaders suggest that other countries should adopt constitutional republics based on individual liberties. It's always 'democracy.'
Maybe I am nit picking semantics but lately I wonder if it's not a more intentional thing they do.

“Fortunately, the military has not ceded power, Baradai has showed his known cowardly streak, and not much has changed in Egypt.”
As far as the first two points...whew! I hope the miltary remains in control, and Baradai removes himself from the country. He’s been known to not live there, and is a coward, you know. ;o)
As for the last point, the fact that not much has changed is dangerous in itself. They don’t know how to “do” democracy. I hope there are some westerners there to help them transition to a peaceful, and not islamic, state.

Thank you so much for your post, Ernest! Very enlightening, to say the least.
Thank you for the ping, potlatch.
I arrived home in one piece. ;o)

Regarding my last point. I expect that elections will be held in September and that the party backed by the military will win. It is the same party that holds power now. Thus, the more things change....

I’ve saw today that the military is going to honor their treaty with Israel. That’s a good sign.
I’ve seen something about the Muslim Brotherhood’s five year plan, but haven’t had time to delve into it.
Lordy...I hope they are nowhere near the reins of power.
