“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.

LOL! I left of the “26” to my above post.

Thank you for this thread! I always appreciate your insights.

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....
