I have lived and worked in Egypt for more than three decades, and thus the video of the protestors was chilling. My analysis was that about one in four in Tahrir was an Ikhwan. From information I have received from Alexandria the number of students and pro-Ikhwan protestors was absolutely chilling. Fortunately, the military has not ceded power, Baradai has showed his known cowardly streak, and not much has changed in Egypt.
I'll look at google too.
Would you qualify that statement with a "yet"?
Do you see the next struggle as happening between MB and the military? Or is that too simplistic?
“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.
