"As a reality check: the search terms "Egypt", "revolution" and "genital mutilation" turn up just seven stories in Google News "

Searching "Egypt" and "Genital Mutation" turns up 309,000 articles.

Not sure why the author thinks "Revolution" and "Genital Mutation" should occur in the same article.

They are spoiled sons and daughters of the rich. Weekend warriors with utopian ideas and no practical view of things. The same type that permeated in Latin America in the 70’s. In the wings are always the opportunist professional revolutionaries ala Lenin who once the useful fools are done, take over the place. In this case it’s the muslim brotherhood.

Egypt churns out 700,000 university graduates a year qualified to stamp each other's papers and not much else, and employs perhaps 200,000 of them, mostly in government bureaucracy.

As Egypt's new Finance Minister Samir Radwan said of the young people who put him in power (to the Financial Times on February 13), "I'm generalizing, but a large number of the Egyptian labor force is unemployable. The products of the education system are unemployable."

The foundation of the soon-to-be-created Egyptian democracy. At least that's what Anderson Cooper and the New York Times tell me. And when have they ever been wrong?
