Obama did not usher in the Arab Spring. A poor Tunisian man who was totally frustrated with government bureaucracy set himself on fire. The shock to the Tunisians at this event and the availability of the internet and cell phones made this go viral and the rest is history.
So far only 4 million votes have been counted. This in a country of 81 million. If their vote count pattern is similar to ours, the small community votes will be counted before the big city votes. The small communities are probably more likely to be conservative and Islamic. These statistics may change, hope, hope, hope!!
This Islamist (and downright socialist) constitution is likely to pass overwhelmingly. It's why Morsi and his bunch wanted to get it to the voters. They knew it would pass, demonstrate what the will of the people really is in Egypt and pretty much gut the opposition. The majority of Egyptians are uneducated and they support a Sharia state. The media sold us a story that the revolution was a bunch of forward thinking young people. The reality is they are only a small minority in Egypt, the majority want Sharia law and a disturbingly high number don't believe the Muslim Brotherhood are Islamists enough.
You miss the point. The Obama State Department knew or should have known that the intolerant fundamentalists were the most powerful well organized political group in these politically backward countries and would be in the vanguard of these power grabs. Revolution? Social justice? These countries will become even more backward and intolerant than was ever thought possible. Obama’s open support to these groups has made likely an Iran like fundamentalist state in North Africa. The region has become not only more repressive but dangerously unstable.
